Our DMC services take an out-of-town corporate program off your plate, from the airport pickup to the last dinner. You won't be left alone in a city you don't know: our people are on the ground before your group lands.
A destination team handles everything that happens inside the city, so you can focus on your people and your agenda.
A destination management company is a local operator that plans and runs events, activities, transportation and program logistics in one place. A travel agency books flights and hotels. A DMC works on the ground once the group arrives. If you're new to the idea, our article on what is a DMC explains how it fits next to your planner.
For a company group, a DMC usually handles:
You get a team with bases on both coasts that brings the same setup to any state.
Our Orlando office and warehouse sit at 310 N Orange Ave, in one of the busiest convention cities in the country. Groups fly in for shows at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), such as IAAPA Expo and the PGA Show.
We've worked in a hangar venue, a studio lot, office towers and school campuses, and we check every venue before the group lands.
The guest program is ours. Simulators, VR and AI photo booths come with our operators, so your welcome night or team day doesn't depend on a vendor you've never met. For reward trips, see our incentive travel service.
One contact runs your group's days in the destination, and every piece runs to one schedule.
You get one quote for the whole program, with each day and service listed. Every program gets a custom quote. These things shape it:
Transfers, venues, restaurant bookings and activities come in one quote, so you're not stitching together invoices from a dozen local vendors.
These cases show how we handle distance: shipping, access and setup in a venue we'd never seen before.
We moved a full station across the country for an event organizer. The flight simulator shipped to Morrisville came with a 55-inch display, software and an operator. Venue access opened at 10 AM for a 4 to 6 PM program, and we brought our own hotspot as a backup to the venue Wi-Fi.
Morrisville, NC
A three-day show in a Times Square hotel needs a crew that can work to hotel rules. For i2c's booth at FinovateFall in New York, we installed and tested the day before opening.
New York, NY
Some venues have rules you won't find online. At the Sysmex evening at Hangar 21, we coordinated airfield-side access and insurance documents with the agency and the venue.
Fullerton, CA
These frames show the venues and setups behind out-of-town days.
Venues out of state ask for documents early, so we prepare them at the start of planning.
We provide insurance documents to venues and organizers on request. We've cleared an airfield-side hangar, a studio lot and an office tower. Send each venue's requirements with your request, and we'll handle the paperwork for every stop on the program.
Distance turns small misses into big ones. Here's what goes wrong and what we do instead.
Transfers timed to the agenda, not to flights.
Half the group waits at the airport. We build pickups from the flight list.
A restaurant that can't seat the group together.
Dinner splits across rooms. We confirm private rooms and seating plans.
Venue rules learned on arrival.
A missed load-in window stops setup. We clear each venue's rules before the trip.
No backup for weak Wi-Fi.
Check-in and digital activities stall. We bring our own connection.
Nobody local to call.
When something changes, your planner is two time zones away. Our team stays with the group in the city.
Each step has an owner, and you see the plan before anyone books anything.
Each role covers one part of the trip, and your contact stays the same throughout.
Your group can land in any U.S. city. We bring the program and the people to it.
Two bases
We have two bases, Los Angeles and Orlando, and work across the U.S., from California to Florida and the East Coast. In each city, we plan with local venues and suppliers and bring our own team and equipment. Two cities have their own pages: DMC in Atlanta and DMC in Chicago. For any other city, send us the dates and the group size.
Orlando office: 310 N Orange Ave, STE. 201, Orlando, FL 32801A destination management company is a local operator for groups. It plans and runs transfers, venues, activities and on-site logistics in one city.
A planner shapes the whole event. A DMC handles everything that happens on the ground in the destination. We do both, so you don't need two teams.
No. We run the ground program: transfers, venues, restaurant bookings and activities. Your travel agent or travel manager books flights. We work from their flight list.
Per program. Each one gets a custom quote based on group size, days, city and services.
Yes. We work in any U.S. city. Send us the city and dates, and we'll bring the team and stations there.
Ask who will be on the ground with your group, which activities the company runs itself and who you call when the schedule changes. Our own team runs the program and the stations.
Yes. We've worked under an event agency for a client evening and followed its timeline and brand rules.
Send the city, dates and group size. We'll reply right away, and one team will meet your group and run the program. Tell us the event type, city, dates, group size and budget. Add flight arrival windows and what the group should do each day. Or call +1 213 912 1010
