Success Story: Incentive Trip to Dominican Republic
Client Objective:
Design, organize and execute an incentive trip to the Dominican Republic including registration, room management, billing, food and beverage, onsite restaurants reservations, event designs for a welcome reception and final night event, entertainment, and onsite management.
Challenges:
- Communication – Communicating with an island-based resort can be challenging. We expect quick and efficient communication, however, a language barrier and relaxed response time can make producing incentive trips more difficult than in the United States. Because we are experienced in this area, we always aim to communicate often, early, and abundantly using translation tools and photos as needed.
- Travel costs – Because of the skyrocketing airline ticket prices, fewer guests were able to attend
- Extensions and guest billing – Many of the guests extended their stay at the resort, which was billed to them directly. Gathering approval from the hotel for those extended dates proved untimely and inefficient, creating frustration among the guests who were trying to book their airfare.
Success Story
San Antonio Corporate Conference
Client Objective:
Design a fantastic corporate conference in San Antonio with flawless airport transportation, VIP amenities, a unique offsite event for an awards ceremony, and a winery tour in Fredericksburg, all while including touches of the local destination and finding the options that fit best with the company attributes.
Challenges:
- Weather – The offsite event we designed included an outdoor reception, but the wind was stronger than expected, and the temperature was forecasted to be cooler than normal.
- Flight Delays – Guests for this event often come from remote or small towns, and had to connect in larger airports in order to get to the destination. Weather events caused multiple flight delays and cancellations, which in turn required up-to-the minute adjustments on our end for guest arrival transportation.

The client had a small internal team and a short timeframe to recruit and confirm over eighty speakers and panelists, as well as get them ready for the conference. We worked in tandem with their team, so they could focus on securing high-level industry speakers and COVID-related conference content, while we scheduled and conducted training and rehearsals.
