The DMC Network Difference: Trust, Expertise, and a Commitment to Success
Planning a corporate event in an unfamiliar city can feel like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, only to realize at the very end that you are missing pieces and have no idea where they are. Events, especially destination events, have so many details to consider, from choosing reliable vendors to creating unforgettable experiences for your attendees.
The last thing you want is to leave anything to chance. This is where working with a Destination Management Company (DMC) makes all the difference. But not just any DMC—when you partner with a DMC Network member, you’re getting the benefit of vetted, trusted local experts who know their destinations inside and out.
The truth is that you don’t want your event to be “good enough.” You want it to be something truly exceptional. Whether you’re planning an intimate retreat or a large-scale conference, you want to work with the best of the best, and that’s why working with a partner such as Event Experience will make all the difference.

What is the DMC Network?
Let’s start by answering the obvious question—what is the DMC Network? Unlike large, generic companies, DMC Network members and partners are locally owned and operated, giving them deep expertise in their specific destinations. These aren’t faceless corporations; each partner is rooted in their community, with an average of 25 years in business. This means when you work with a DMC Network partner, you’re not just getting a service provider—you’re getting the benefit of decades of local knowledge and relationships. And this just isn’t something you can do on your own in an unfamiliar city.
What makes the DMC Network truly special is that each partner also owns a stake in the Network itself. This creates a unique sense of responsibility and commitment to both the client and the success of the entire Network. Every partner is invested in delivering top-notch results, not just for their own business but for all members. Together, they form a trust-driven community that shares best practices, educational resources, and customer referrals, working collaboratively to raise the bar for the entire industry.





DMC Network Members are Vetted Rigorously
One of the challenges with many professional organizations is that all members need to do to join is complete an application and pay a fee of some kind. But that doesn’t mean that this is necessarily someone you want to work with. How do you know that this company has a great reputation? Who has really checked into the quality of their work?
This is where the DNC Network is a bit different. Partners aren’t simply allowed to join when they sign on the dotted line. Potential members undergo extensive interviews, demonstrating their commitment to high standards and their deep local expertise. They must also meet strict professional affiliations and adhere to industry standards.

But it doesn’t stop there. To maintain membership, DMC Network partners must meet ongoing client satisfaction expectations, hold the proper insurance coverage, demonstrate financial stability, and engage in continuing education. This commitment means you can trust that you’re working with a company that consistently delivers high-quality service and keeps improving through ongoing learning and professional development.
