Executive Summary:

As the founder and owner of Vincent Events, Vincent Vacations, and All Inclusive Weddings, Lia Vincent brings over two decades of hands-on group travel mastery and elite airline and resort advisory board appointments to corporate retreats, executive summits, and incentive programs.

Two Decades of Travel Leadership & National Enterprise Growth

Lia Vincent has been a recognized powerhouse in the travel industry since 2002. In 2013, she established Vincent Vacations, growing it from an Oklahoma City headquarters into a nationally recognized, award-winning agency with physical brick-and-mortar operations in Oklahoma City and Dallas, TX, supported by a powerhouse team of over 250 independent travel advisors across the United States. In 2019, she expanded her hospitality footprint with All Inclusive Weddings, followed by specialized divisions including Vincent Events, Vincent Cruises, and TravelAgentPro.

Engineered for High-Yield B2B Group & MICE Operations

Recognizing that corporate MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) travel demands rigorous logistical engineering rather than standard consumer bookings, Lia established Vincent Events as a dedicated B2B platform. She specializes in corporate incentive travel (President's Club reward trips), Sales Kick-Offs (SKOs), C-suite board retreats, and large-scale convention room blocks across Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, Hawaii, and Europe.

Lia does not merely direct group operations from a desk; she actively architects and produces complex corporate programs. Each year, she personally plans and hosts multi-day annual awards galas, executive summits, and recognition incentive retreats for advisors achieving over $1 million in annual sales—giving her deep, operational familiarity with stage lighting, A/V production, keynote timelines, banquet menus, and private resort takeovers.

National Advisory Council Clout & Supplier Leverage

Corporate meeting planners and CFOs choose Vincent Events because Lia Vincent holds appointed seats on the national advisory boards of the world's most powerful travel suppliers:

American Airlines Vacations
Appointed Advisory Council Member guiding airline group contracting, charters, and airlift policies.
Delta Vacations
Appointed Emerging Leaders Council member shaping global corporate flight connectivity.
Hilton All-Inclusive
National Advisory Board Member advising on all-inclusive meeting facilities and corporate group amenities.
La Colección Think Tank Leader
Elite advisory think tank leader for Posadas luxury resorts (Live Aqua, Grand Fiesta Americana).

Additionally serving on the Marival Resorts Advisory Council and holding elite Signature Travel Network Select Expert status (leveraging over $11 billion in collective buying power), Lia possesses direct cell-phone access to resort general managers, directors of sales, and airline charter desks. When unexpected flight disruptions or on-property challenges arise, her executive relationships unlock immediate resolution, complimentary VIP suite upgrades, and concessions that standard booking channels cannot obtain.

“A successful corporate incentive or leadership summit isn't just about booking rooms; it is about protecting your company's capital through ironclad contracts, mitigating attrition risk, and delivering an unforgettable experience that drives measurable attendee loyalty and business ROI.”

— Lia Vincent • Founder & Owner, Vincent Events
