The Hard Rock Hotel Cancun and the incentive community of Cancun Mexico invite you to the first and best opportunity to experience the new Cancun at The IRF's 20th Annual Incentive Invitational May 7-11, 2013.

The Annual Incentive Invitational represents The Incentive Research Foundation's (IRF) most important annual fundraising activity for research that advances the science of motivation and incentives. Each year The IRF provides educational roundtable sessions that highlight The IRF research to focus on industry insights, trends, and the business of incentives. Participants at the sessions learn of the results of The IRF research and, through roundtable discussions, have the opportunity to relate the research to their own experiences and practices. The takeaways from these sessions are invaluable in working in today's business environment.

Utilizing all the elements that make incentive travel an effective motivation tool, The Annual Incentive Invitational brings together end-users plus partner suppliers at an incentive destination for a four-day weekend of business networking, educational sessions addressing the current economics and industry trends, and destination lifestyle experiences. The event fosters new relationships and solidifies existing business contacts. Once a year...an annual tradition...providing a first-class environment to reinforce business relationships...and ensuring needed research on incentive and motivational issues is brought to the industry.

The Hard Rock Hotel Cancun and the incentive community of Cancun, Mexico will be hosting the IRF over the dates of May 7-11, 2013 for four days of business networking and destination showcase experiences to foster new and solidify existing relationships with over 170 top buyer/decision makers from incentive companies and corporations plus the top supplier organizations, providing a buyer to supplier ratio of better than one to one.
