The Incentive Marketing Association’s European Summit in London provided a valuable platform for industry professionals to connect, learn, and share insights. The event was informative and insightful, offering a wealth of knowledge on the latest trends and best practices in incentive and loyalty programs.

The size and scale of incentive channel and employee appreciation programs are growing at a significant rate in Europe and the UK. Global brands are increasingly recognizing the importance of these initiatives in engaging their employees, resellers, and customers worldwide.

The summit featured several insightful panel discussions that delved into key industry topics, such as market trends, technology advancements, employee engagement strategies, sales channel incentives, sustainability in incentives, data analytics and data-driven decision-making, regulations, and ethics and compliance.

One of the most notable speakers at the summit was Kate Faragher, who delivered a thought-provoking presentation on the future of communication in the incentive and loyalty industry. Her insights on emerging trends and technologies provided valuable guidance for attendees.

The networking opportunities at the summit were well-structured and facilitated meaningful connections among industry leaders. The event’s atmosphere was electric, fostering stimulating discussions and intellectual exchange across borders.

Two standout contacts I made were David Bailey, a renowned marketing guru with experience at global brands like Apple and Samsung, and Osnat Ben Nesher Zaretsky, a leading expert in technology, AI, blockchain, and crypto. Their insights and expertise were invaluable.

The Incentive Marketing Association’s European Summit was a successful event that provided a valuable learning experience and networking opportunity for attendees. I would like to thank the event team, including Phil Mooney and President Andrew Johnson, for their hard work in organizing such a successful event.
