Dear Site Colleagues:
The fourth annual Site Nite North America took place at the Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas on Monday, 10 October. Last year, this sold-out event raised over $90,000 to support industry research, trend analysis and educational programs. This year the event exceeded $150,000. We must thank everyone who was a partner or guest who made this possible. A huge thank you goes out to your Site Nite host committee, along with our Diamond Sponsor Wynn Las Vegas, who welcomed over 900 industry colleagues to a fantastic evening of conversations and connections at this exciting new venue. A highlight of the evening was a performance in the pool by the cast of Le Reve...amazing!
This year we have had overwhelming support for sponsorship of this event. We would like to thank all of our sponsors listed to the left. This event also offered tremendous business connections in part to a co-location with the CMI 25 Reception as well as companies like InterContinental Hotels Group, Aimia (incorporating Carlson Marketing) and Maritz Travel who brought their customers to this grand evening.
Thank you all for your enthusiastic support of this important Site International Foundation fundraiser. As you may know, right after Site Nite, the Foundation released results of two key research studies at IMEX America. In addition, the Site chapters have been receiving chapter education grants. All of this could not be possible with support from good people like you.
Watch for details for Site Nite 2012 to be unveiled early next year. I am happy to announce that Philip Eidsvold with Aimia will be assuming my role a chair in 2012. Until then, mark your calendar for 8 October 2012 for another great evening in Las Vegas and contact site@siteglobal.com if you wish to sponsor this terrific industry event.
Regards,
