All SITE events are built on three foundational pillars \u2013 learn, connect, discover \u2013 and are designed and delivered as authentic incentive travel programs highlighting the transformational power of reward and recognition initiatives based on extraordinary travel experiences.<\/p>    <p>All attendees at SITE events, whether they&#8217;re buyers or suppliers, hosted attendees or partner sponsors are treated as incentive participants who experience the program as true qualifiers from pre-event communication to post-event evaluation.<\/p>    <p>SITE events bring incentive travel professionals to exceptional locations to learn, connect and discover.<\/p>    <p><strong>Why this form is Important<\/strong><\/p>    <p>SITE works hard with our event partners to guarantee that our events offer leading-edge, relevant education, unparalleled, structured networking and deep destination discovery in both familiar or emerging locations.<\/p>    <p>To guarantee the value, integrity, and uniqueness of the event our partner sponsors invest significantly with SITE. That allows us to offer a truly motivational, incentive-quality experience to all participants.<\/p>    <p>While we always endeavour to place you in your preferred program and destination, this application form does not guarantee selection and is subject to a final review. All selections are made to ensure the highest quality program for all participants and partners. Your responses should highlight your role, involvement and impact on direct program spend within your organization.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-custom-site-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-62329a88e2c208ddee1c3982293d44f5\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>    <div style=\"font-size:\" class=\"wp-block-site-global-accordion-content-block\"><div class=\"accordion-item\"> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading accordion-title-heading\">Who reviews hosted buyer applications?<\/h3>    <p>Each year&#8217;s applications are reviewed by an anonymous hosted buyer committee made up of members from SITE&#8217;s International Board of Directors and the SITE Foundation Board of Trustees.&nbsp;<\/p> <\/div><\/div>    <div style=\"font-size:\" class=\"wp-block-site-global-accordion-content-block\"><div class=\"accordion-item\"> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading accordion-title-heading\">How are hosted buyer applications reviewed and scored?<\/h3>    <p>The hosted buyer committee uses a weighted scorecard to evaluate each application.
