Experience the Bangkok Manifesto Launch
Crowdsourced and crafted in Bangkok, we’ll be launching the deluxe edition of the Manifesto at IMEX. We asked 10 global leaders in incentive travel – corporations, agencies, DMCs, DMOs – to provide commentary around our 10 statements. These have now been gathered into an attractive publication that sets out SITE’s vision around the nature, purpose and direction of incentive travel.
On Wednesday, May 22, we’ll be launching formally to the press at 11:30 AM (Room Symmetrie 3, Hall 8, Level 1) and then to the industry at 12:30 PM on the same day with our title sponsors, Meet in Ireland, at booth F420.
Pick up your copy at our booth (F750), or at Meet in Ireland (F420) and Thailand Convention & Visitors Bureau (B150).
