It\u2019s not a place known for incentives, but from the very beginning, hospitality was part of my life. In fact, my birth interrupted my Nana\u2019s dinner party, where she was hosting fifty German tourists on our family\u2019s deer farm, offering them a true New Zealand manaakitanga experience. <\/p>    <p>From that first day, I was immersed in the value of welcoming people and creating meaningful experiences.\u00a0<\/p>    <p>I began my career in regional tourism in my hometown of Dunedin, working as a city tourism officer with Enterprise Dunedin. <\/p>    <p>Those early experiences gave me a strong foundation in destination promotion and events, but it wasn\u2019t until I moved to Queenstown to join the Queenstown Convention Bureau that the \u201cI\u201d in MICE, C&amp;I, or business events truly made sense to me. <\/p>    <p>I\u2019ll never forget a client saying, <em>\u201cSarah, Queenstown is our next destination, and we need a WOW dinner location. The last dinner they held was at the feet of the Sphinx, and they even got permission to serve alcohol there, as they were liquor distributors.\u201d <\/em><\/p>    <p>That was my <em>oh, I get it now <\/em>moment. Incentive travel wasn\u2019t just about venues and logistics: it was about creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences that people would carry with them forever.\u00a0<\/p>    <p>Queenstown opened my eyes to the scale and creativity of incentive travel, but what shaped me most were the people around me. Mentors, colleagues, and even competitors took me under their wing, encouraged me, and saw potential I hadn\u2019t yet believed in myself. <\/p>    <p>Those experiences showed me that this industry isn\u2019t just about events: it\u2019s about people, relationships, and moments that make experiences meaningful.\u00a0<\/p>    <p>Through another mentor, I was introduced to the <a href=\"https:\/\/siteglobal.com\/chapters-affiliates\/site-australia-new-zealand\/\">SITE Australia &amp; New Zealand Chapter<\/a> and offered the opportunity to speak at their conference as a <a href=\"https:\/\/siteglobal.com\/young-leaders-program\/\">Young Leader<\/a>. <\/p>    <p>That moment opened the door to becoming the first Young Leader representative on the SITE Australia &amp; New Zealand Board, a role that changed how I saw myself and my potential. <\/p>    <p>And then came the moments that defined exactly why I love this work. It was SITE members, mentors, and now friends who created them. <\/p>    <p>Standing atop the Sydney Harbour Bridge with the International Board of Directors team as the sun set, greeted by a saxophone player, a moment created by Collette Baini, I thought, <em>this is exactly where I want to be, and this is what I want to be creating for people. <\/em><\/p>    <p>Other moments were quieter, like conversations with mentors who reminded me that I belonged at the table, or peers who generously shared knowledge and encouragement.\u00a0<\/p>    <p>One of the most memorable moments came when I had the chance to connect with SITE China\u2019s only Young Leader. We shared our love for the industry, and also discussed the challenges we each face from our perspectives. <\/p>    <p>It was amazing to discover how similar our experiences were, yet how much we could learn from each other. That opportunity would never have been possible without SITE. <\/p>    <p>These experiences reinforced for me that incentive travel is about creating moments, not just events, because life really is a series of moments, and those are the ones that stay with you.\u00a0<\/p>    <p>These moments didn\u2019t just inspire me, they gave me courage. Courage to believe I could step into leadership. Courage to believe that I, too, could create transformational experiences. And ultimately, courage to take my biggest leap yet. <\/p>    <p>In May 2025, I launched my own DMC company, <em>Roam<\/em>. That decision was the result of years of learning, mentorship, and the endless support I\u2019ve found in SITE. Without that community, Roam would never have been possible.\u00a0<\/p>    <p>My vision for Roam is clear: to bring the best of global incentive experiences, learnings, and networks back home to New Zealand. I want to prove that even here, at the bottom of the world, we can stand alongside the biggest players in the incentive market. <\/p>    <p>I aspire to be a leader for younger generations, showing them what\u2019s possible, and to support my community by sharing the insights, connections, and opportunities I gain. <\/p>    <p>I see myself as a connector and a sharer, never a gatekeeper. Even as I step away from my direct role leading the Queenstown Convention Bureau, my values remain the same, to lead with openness, collaboration, and <em>manaakitanga<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>    <p>Being in New Zealand, it\u2019s easy to feel geographically isolated. But we are an incredible country with the same ambitions for success, and through SITE, I\u2019ve experienced firsthand how connected we can be to the global incentive community. <\/p>    <p>While I\u2019ve already been so blessed with life-changing opportunities through SITE, now being a start-up, it\u2019s scholarships like this that will keep not only me, but New Zealand, connected to the global network. <\/p>    <p>I still have so much to learn, in my career in incentive travel, as a new, young business owner trying to make a mark for my country, and as a mentor showing other young leaders what we can achieve. <\/p>    <p>It\u2019s opportunities like the SITE Global Conference, where the network is nothing but supportive, that will help me continue to grow and contribute. You couldn\u2019t ask for a better advocate \u2014 SITE has literally changed my life.\u00a0<\/p>    <p>This scholarship is bigger than just me. The opportunity to attend the SITE Global Conference will allow me to connect with peers from across the world, deepen my learning, and bring those insights back to shape my company and community in New Zealand. <\/p>    <p>Every new connection, every conversation, every shared story will become part of the foundation I can offer others, helping them see what incentive travel can mean, both personally and professionally.\u00a0<\/p>    <p>Because while there may not be enough words to capture all the ways SITE has changed my life, there are moments. From a deer farm in Dunedin, to a sunset saxophone on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, to conversations with Young Leaders across\u00a0the globe, to standing on the global stage in Abu Dhabi, every moment has brought me closer to where I am today.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>At the heart of it all, I am reminded of the M\u0101ori proverb, <strong>\u201cHe tangata, he tangata, he tangata.\u201d<\/strong> it is people, it is people, it is people. I hope to have the opportunity to connect with our people in Abu Dhabi at the SITE Global Conference 2026.\u00a0<\/p>    <hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support SITE Foundation and shape the future of incentive travel with us<\/h4>    <p>Help grow our industry!
