A Destination Management Company (DMC) is a professional services company that is locally licensed and has its operational offices located in a particular geographical area.A DMC comprises travel experts with extensive local knowledge of all the elements that make for a successful event, conference, or incentive travel program. 

DMCs are regarded as the “general contractor” of meetings and events. Similar to building a home and hiring a contractor to manage, pay, competitively shop, verify insurance, and check references, etc, a DMC performs those services and more for your conference, meeting, party, or special event.
​
Services include transfers, transportation, dinners in unique locations, accommodations, activities, excursions, tours, teambuilding, catering, charters, social responsibility interactions, connecting with local communities, décor, audio visual, on-site assistance, entertainment, and much more.

A DMC offers the advantage of one-stop-shopping for all services related to a specific destination, saving time and providing cost benefits due to their extensive local knowledge, professional relationships, expertise, and local resources. DMCs understand the requirements of meeting planners and can assist them in achieving their goals for efficient and organized programs from start to finish.

​By providing unique and memorable experiences for attendees and meeting planners, a DMC can offer the best of what a destination has to offer while also helping them meet their budgetary needs.

From transportation needs, hotel accommodations, and food and beverage options to recommended activities, a DMC knows all the best options in the area where you’re hosting your event and will ensure all your boxes are checked.

Yes, Georgia DMC carries extensive commercial liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence, $1,000,000 in personal injury, and $3,000,000 general aggregate insurance. Upon request, DPC will provide its clients a Certificate of Insurance naming its client as an Additional Named Insured

​ I understand this may sound unusual, but like most of our clients and the businesses they represent, we need to generate revenue to keep our business running. Let me be transparent: we are a for-profit organization. The money you pay us is not just for the food and beverages we provide or for deciding where the bar should be or for approving vendor contracts. The cost you pay for our services is local expertise, professional representation, insurance coverage, being up to date on the latest contract languages, and using the best technical platforms to create a visual representation of our ideas. This helps you present your ideas with confidence.

Our knowledge is our product. We have extensive experience working with the best vendors and know which ones to avoid. Our product is our experience. I always reassure our clients that we have been working for them long before they even knew us. Our team has been producing and managing events and programs for several decades, allowing us to repeat successful strategies and learn from mistakes to avoid future issues. Our product is peace of mind. Our clients have many responsibilities and should not worry about a Plan B. We plan for contingencies and have solutions ready in case things do not go according to plan.

Working with a DMC keeps planning streamlined and more organized because you’re only working directly with one partner, saving you time on research, planning, and logistics.

While you can scour the Internet and do your own research, by the time you find a potential supplier and reach out for more information, a DMC could already have a contract for you to review. Once the local suppliers are selected, the DMC handles the logistics, saving you the time of multiple meetings and back-and-forth emails and phone calls. (That’s not to say you won’t have meetings and emails and calls—they’ll just be with one contact instead of multiple.)
​
Even after the event, financial reconciliation is faster and easier because you only have to pay the DMC instead of each individual supplier.
