WHAT IS ADMEI?



Association of Destination Management Executives International (ADMEI) is a membership association for Destination Management Companies (DMCs) and is the premier resource for education, standards, and practices within the Destination Management industry.

With a global presence and respected reputation for sharing the value of DMCs to both internal and external stakeholders.  

ADMEI is the Voice of DMCs.

WHAT IS A DMC?



A Destination Management Company (DMC) is a professional services company located in its destination and specializes in local expertise and resources. The DMC is a strategic partner to provide creative local experiences in event management, tours/activities, transportation, entertainment, and program logistics.

DMCs are at the core of the MICE industry. The services they provide to their clients also provide business to their local supplier partners. They can and often do literally touch every aspect of a program from logistics to safety, from branding and theme creation to providing local experiences.

We’re proud to welcome the newest companies to ADMEI—DMCs who are committed to best practices and shaping the future of Destination Management. Their dedication strengthens our global community and elevates the standards of our industry.
