After the speech by Cezary Wilemajtys, members of the Management Board presented issues related to the areas for which they were responsible. Grażyna Grot – Duziak (Weco Travel) presented the structure and diversity of SITE Poland members stressing that their number has been systematically increasing since the beginning of the year. Jarosław Hulboj (Air Club) summarized the financial situation and presented ways to raise funds and partners. Monika Wąs (MICEadvice Poland) responsible for communication and PR together with Małgorzata Hulewicz (Mazurkas DMC Poland) emphasized the importance of global and local communication. SITE Poland through available communication tools, wants to inform not only about its activities, but also the activities of its members, acting as a communication platform through which it will be possible to act globally and at the same time solve local problems. Katarzyna Kałuża-Nawrot (Travel Bidder) emphasized the importance of education and networking and pointed out the opportunities that come with the active use of SITE Global tools. She also informed about the most interesting upcoming events organized by SITE Global.
We would like to remind you of the upcoming events of which SITE Poland is a partner: Global Meetings Industry Day organized in cooperation with MPI Poland Chapter organized in cooperation with MPI Poland Chapter and the Scientific Society of Business Tourism “2B” of the Vistula University Group (April 12, 18: 00-20: 30, Sound Garden Hotel Warsaw) and Student Event Day (April 12, 10: 00-16: 00, AWF Warsaw). The next meeting of SITE Poland members combined with the general meeting of the Management Board will be held on June 27, 2018.
In the second part of the meeting, Cezary Wilemajtys presented the idea of creating thematic committees at SITE Poland, which will be aimed at discussing industry problems and striving to solve them. Initially, it was proposed to create committees: incentive agencies and IATA agents, incentive pilots and trip coordinators, foreign DMC representation offices and incentive organizers, local DMCs and hotels. SITE members spoke about the legitimacy of creating committees and expressed their interest in participating in their work. It is worth adding that the meeting of SITE Poland members was preceded by a working meeting of incentive pilots, in which twelve interested parties took part.
After the official part, the meeting participants could learn about the possibilities of the POLIN Museum as a space rented for commercial events. The SITE Poland meeting could have been courtesy of the Museum, which lent the association a hall. The evening ended with informal talks over snacks and drinks provided by Mazurkas Catering 360.
Apart from the Museum of the History of Polish Jews and Mazurkas Catering, the meeting partners were also the Warsaw Convention Bureau and the Warsaw Tourism Organization.
