Our Leadership Team

A shared vision. Complementary expertise.

Denis Clermont

Denis Clermont, founder, is passionate about travel, creativity and communication. Throughout his career, he has stood out for his creative approach and expertise in fashion, travel, marketing and events.

His work has earned numerous distinctions, including a Certificate of Excellence from the Publicité-Club de Montréal for a production created in Egypt and a Jasmin d’Or from Tunisia. He was also named an ambassador for the City of Laval, among other honours.

As a publisher, creative professional, art director, reporter and photographer, Denis has travelled to hundreds of destinations around the world. He has worked with numerous associations and publications and created several specialist magazines, including Prestige Beauté, Marketing Beauté, Ski Mode, Lingerie de jour & de nuit, Maillots / Swimwear, Vision Mode, Influence, Voyages d’affaires & Congrès and Reunions & Motivation.

His experience also includes decades of international marketing campaigns for leaders in the fashion and travel industries.

Through his travels and professional work, Denis has gained a deep appreciation of the diversity, beauty and exceptional potential of destinations. He also saw a need for recognised standards and certification systems to evaluate and showcase destinations and event services at the local, national and international levels.

That insight, together with the needs expressed by many decision-makers and business leaders, inspired him to create Reunions & Motivation: an initiative designed to help professionals choose destinations, venues and services for their events.

Drawing on his commitment to excellence, extensive international experience and boundless creativity, Denis has brought together an outstanding team and strategic partners with complementary expertise.

Together, they support meeting and incentive travel planners in their research, helping them make informed choices about the destinations, venues and services for their upcoming events.
