SITE Young Leaders' Conference

Since SITE Young Leaders’ program started over 15 years’ ago, the YL conference has been a much anticipated annual event, bringing Young Leaders face to face from all over to world. Life long friendships were forged as careers developed and we’re proud to repor that our current board includes many alumni of our YL program. Aoife Delaney, CIS, CITP, president of SITE in 2021 and Kevin Edmunds, CIS, CITP, president of SITE in 2022 are both proud and enthusiastic alumni. A notable characteristic of SITE’s YL annual conference is that it is “for Young Leaders, by Young Leaders. This ensures that content is always relevant to our new generation of incentive travel professionals.

The Young Leaders' Conference will take place in Las Vegas on Sunday, October 6, 2024.
