CHALLENGE

A major manufacturer of healthcare products were determined to provide a rewarding incentive trip for their annual president's advisory council and not let the Covid-19 pandemic stop this long running event. The company hired EMC Meetings & Events to provide site selection and contract negotiations with less than 30 days before the event would begin.

SOLUTION

EMC Meetings & Events conducted a careful site selection process and put special attention into determining the safest place for the incentive trip to be held. After surveying several destination options, the client pivoted from an offshore Caribbean destination to a US beach destination within driving distance to its headquarters in Georgia.

RESULT

EMC Meetings & Events successfully contracted the event in less than 30 days and the group conducted its incentive trip on the beautiful white sand beaches of Orange Beach Alabama. Pre-travel communication on CDC and hotel safety guidelines made the attendees feel comfortable in traveling to enjoy a beautiful week at the beach. Group achieved 100% attendance.
