More Stats


Full-time employees in North America (May 2022): 272
Meetings and incentive travel programs held outside the U.S.: 24%

The biggest challenge to producing meetings and incentives over the next year is likely to be…

“…mitigating opposing pressures in a high-demand market. We’re facing staffing demands alongside labor shortages, higher costs alongside tighter budgets, yet people are more ready than ever to travel and attend events. The next year will be about balancing the challenges with the opportunities.”
