SITE has always played a pivotal role within the greater Business Events / MICE industry and this continues today with SITE CEO, Didier Scaillet, CIS, CITP occupying a seat on the 2020 board of Events Industry Council (EIC).

• statements on COVID-19 from Paul Deventer, Chair at EIC
• an instructional video
• a detailed FAQ
• links to reliable sources of information such as World Health Organization (WHO) and Center for Disease Control (CDC)
• in addition to links to association-specific information already on the websites of all EIC member associations.
