Following a successful week at IMEX Frankfurt, the Ovation Global DMC team and five of our Strategic Partners traveled to the Dominican Republic to participate in the prestigious Incentive Research Foundation (IRF) Education Invitational.
A Partnership for Industry Excellence
The Incentive Research Foundation is a vital not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing the global incentive industry. Through pragmatic research and educational initiatives, the IRF highlights the power of motivational programs and helps businesses develop effective performance improvement strategies.
As a trusted, long-standing partner, Ovation Global DMC proudly supports the IRF’s mission. Our collaboration is a core part of our commitment to promoting the value of incentive travel across the world and contributing to the highest standards of industry excellence.
Highlights from the 2025 Invitational
This year’s event delivered four days of high-value education, powerful networking opportunities, and unforgettable destination experiences. The IRF once again gathered an impressive group of senior-level planners, with 138 top professionals attending from across North America. The insights and connections made during the event are invaluable for shaping the future of our industry.
The seamless on-the-ground execution was a joy to experience, expertly managed by our Ovation Strategic Partner, Amstar. Their local knowledge and operational excellence in the Dominican Republic ensured every detail exceeded expectations.
The event concluded with a look toward the future. We are already anticipating next year’s IRF Education Invitational in Puerto Rico for another round of re-imagining incentives and celebrating the bright future of events.
