St. Louis, December 2013 - The Incentive Research Foundation (IRF) has announced that its 21st Annual Incentive Invitational will be held May 28-June 1, 2014. This year’s event takes place at Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort in San Jose del Cabo, at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula.

The Annual Incentive Invitational is the IRF’s most important annual fundraising activity for research surrounding motivation and incentives. Nearly 200 top buyers and decision-makers from incentive companies, corporations and the top supplier organizations will share four days of networking, education and destination showcase experiences, fostering new relationships and solidifying existing business contacts.

One of the key components of the Incentive Invitational is a slate of education sessions that highlight recent IRF research and provide actionable, usable data on incentives and motivation. This year, attendees will have a first look at 3 new IRF research studies as well as the opportunity to relate the research to their own experiences and practices through roundtable discussions.

This year’s 2014 Annual Incentive Invitational Education Day -- Innovating Incentives: Cutting-Edge Technology and Bold Ideas -- will feature a number of engaging and interactive sessions with speakers that include top academics, key industry consultants and IRF executives.
