Building a Culture of Wellness: Introducing the SITE Wellness Community

by Deanna Griffith-House, Vice President, EventMasters and Sarah Martin, Co-Founder & CEO, Epic Events

In today’s fast-paced incentive travel industry, wellness is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. SITE is proud to launch a new wellness community that places well-being at the heart of our association.

This movement was born from a simple idea — our industry thrives when our people do. The is a dedicated space to explore how wellness can be intentionally woven into our personal lives, attendee experiences, and company cultures.

A framework built on three pillars

The Wellness Community is guided by three foundational pillars:

  • Personal wellness: focused on the individual, this pillar emphasizes self-care, setting boundaries, building resilience, and creating space for recovery and reflection.
  • Attendee wellness: from healthy food options to mindfulness moments in meeting agendas, this pillar is about designing experiences that nurture the well-being of our attendees — supporting their energy, comfort, and overall incentive experience.
  • Team & company wellness: creating healthier workplace cultures, this pillar promotes organizational practices that support mental health, flexible work, empathy-driven leadership, and a sustainable approach to productivity.

These pillars reflect the multi-dimensional nature of wellness and serve as a roadmap for SITE members and friends to begin — or deepen — their commitment to healthier ways of working and living.

Creating a shared movement

This community is for everyone: event planners, suppliers, leaders, and newcomers alike. Whether you're seeking inspiration for personal growth, designing wellness-forward events, or aiming to lead with empathy in your organization, there’s a place for you here.

The Wellness Community will serve as a platform for shared stories, resources, tools, and actionable strategies that can make an immediate difference.

Start taking action 

As the initiative grows, expect to see practical content such as wellness tips for planners, event design checklists, team engagement ideas, and thought leadership on emerging trends in workplace well-being. These tools are designed to empower every member to become an advocate for wellness in their sphere of influence.

For those looking for something even more immediate, we also warmly invite you to join our wellness community webinar on May 30 — also a great way to conclude Mental Health Month celebrations, recognized each May in the US (where SITE’s HQ is based!) 

Be part of the change

The SITE Wellness Community is truly a movement — and it starts with us.

Join the conversation, share your story, and help us shape a culture where thriving is the standard, not the exception.

Because when we prioritize wellness, we create better experiences — for ourselves, our attendees, and our entire incentive industry.
