Every spring, Incentive magazine gathers about a dozen leading incentive planners, travel and merchandise providers and corporate incentive managers and brings them together in New York for a wide-ranging discussion about the state of the industry. This year’s roundtable, held in the Millennium Broadway hotel in Times Square, was a particularly good one, with some surprises, some contrarian positions staked out, and some controversy. We think you’ll find it’s worth a listen. Click here to listen to the entire roundtable or to download specific topic segments.
