TORONTO, ON — Moniker Partners, an award-winning luxury corporate retreat and incentive travel agency, is thrilled to announce it has been recognized with the prestigious 2026 SITE Crystal Award for Excellence in Incentive Travel: Europe.

Presented by the Society for Incentive Travel (SITE), the primary industry association for the industry, this award recognizes outstanding creativity, operational execution, and measurable impact within the incentive travel industry.

The award was announced at the SITE Crystal Awards Gala, held at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi on February 13, 2026. Nominees undergo a rigorous evaluation process assessing creative experience design, logistical execution, and destination partnership.

A Masterclass in French Hospitality: The Plex Company Retreat

Moniker was recognized for its work with Plex, a global media streaming platform. The multi-day retreat in France blended high-level business strategy with immersive cultural experiences.

Highlights of the award-winning program included:

• The Louvre: A private, curated scavenger hunt through the world’s most famous museum.
• The Seine: An exclusive private dinner cruise overlooking the Parisian skyline.
• Innovation & Connection: A collaborative hackathon and steampunk-themed closing soiree that bridged the gap between technical work and team bonding.

This program exemplified Moniker’s organizational philosophy: combining white-glove luxury service and thoughtful design with best-in-class execution, and high-impact moments that drive both connection and business outcomes.

Annette Gregg, CEO, SITE and SITE Foundation, commented “Congratulations to this year’s winners and recognized organizations. Each programme reflects the skill, care, and leadership that keeps incentive travel evolving, from creative design and operational excellence to measurable impact for people, businesses, and destinations. These honors set a clear standard for what best in class looks like in our industry.”
