Los
Angeles, CA October 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Co-sponsored
by Incentive magazine and the Incentive Marketing Association (IMA),
the Rewards and Recognition Roundtable at the TEAMS
17 Conference & Expo in Orlando has announced the roster of incentive
industry thought leaders who will facilitate the session. The Rewards and
Recognition Roundtable will provide sports-event organizers and host cities
the opportunity to learn how they can use non-cash incentive programs using
brand-name merchandise, gift cards and travel to achieve their organizational
objectives.
The
roundtables participants include Ken Bott, director of commerce programs
and partnerships for Darden Restaurants, Inc.; Dean Resnekov, director
of Indigo, which represents multiple luxury merchandise brands; and Marc
Matthews, president of Pulse Experiential Travel, who also serves on the
IMA board of directors. The Rewards and Recognition Roundtable at TEAMS
17 will be introduced by Leo Jakobson, executive editor of Incentive
magazine, and moderated by Richard Low, CPIM, vice-president of special
markets for Citizen Watch Company of America and a past president of the
IMA.
The
Rewards and Recognition Roundtable will be held on Tuesday, October 31,
prior to the start of the TEAMS 17 Expo. The TEAMS 17 Expo, which will
run October 31 November 2 at the Hilton Orlando, will include a dedicated
area called the Gifting and Rewards Zone for merchandise and gift card
providers offering incentive program expertise and brand-name awards to
event organizers and event hosts. When they involve recognized brands,
such programs enhance efforts to engage participants as they encourage
and reward achievement for sports and other types of organizations. Companies
and brands with a presence in the Gifting and Rewards Zone at TEAMS 17
include Citizen Watch, Sony, Samsonite, Foot Locker, Bulova, Canon, Pulse
Experiential Travel and Darden Restaurants, Inc.
The
deep knowledge of the participants in the Rewards and Recognition Roundtable
is sure to benefit the sports organizations and destinations in attendance
at TEAMS 17, said Timothy Schneider, founder and chairman of the Sports
Division of Northstar Travel Group. This session will allow event organizers
and host cities to better understand the value of involving major brands
in their efforts to motivate, recognize and reward superior performance
by all of the key stakeholders in their organizations.
