The Gift Club really has a great brand itself, with a unique offering allowing all companies, no matter what size or solution, to be found and heard across the globe.”

Jamie Challis

Senior Business Development Manager, Tillo
"I have to say The BIG Handshake Gift Cards and Incentives was one of the best if not the best event I have been to - it was all just right, the schedules, the timings and most importantly so much opportunity to network with the people I wanted to get facetime with - I personally walked away with 8 decent leads to follow up with as well as some new friends."

Ajay Kumar

"It was an incredible experience, and I truly appreciate the effort the team put into making it a success. The event was not only informative but also engaging, and I gained valuable insights from the speakers and fellow participants. The networking opportunities were exceptional, and I had the pleasure of connecting with some inspiring professionals in our industry. As a Gold partner of The Gift Club, we thank you from team EZ PIN."

Philly Mathers

"The overall atmosphere of The BIG Handshake Event is testament to The Gift Club’s unwavering commitment to excellence. I was particularly impressed by some of the speakers.

“The Gift Club is a breath of fresh air to the incentive and loyalty industry. They’re building a global community in a space that’s super crowded and difficult to penetrate. As a premium partner, we’ve been impressed by their ability to offer us new business leads, events and networking opportunities that currently don't exist. And for my personal brand, I’m delighted with the outcome so far”
