2027 Annual Conference – New Orleans, LA USA

Sunday, February 21, 2027 to Tuesday, February 23, 2027

* Registration open until 2/23/27 at 12:00 AM (EST)

AMPLIFY!

The 2027 ADMEI Annual Conference is headed to New Orleans, and we’re turning up the volume on what matters most: the voice of ADMEI, the power of our DMC community, and the incredible impact of our industry.

For 2.5 days, DMC professionals from around the world will come together to learn, exchange ideas, build relationships, and have a little fun along the way.

This isn’t generic meetings industry education. The program is built for DMCs, with relevant education and honest conversations about the opportunities, challenges, and changes affecting our businesses today.

Whether you lead a DMC, help bring in new business, manage programs, develop creative experiences, or keep everything running behind the scenes, you’ll leave with new ideas, useful takeaways, and connections you can call on long after the conference ends.

And we couldn’t ask for a better place to do it. New Orleans brings the energy, the culture, the food, and, of course, the music.

2.5 days. One global DMC community. A whole lot of energy.

Want even more? Start your conference experience early with one of two pre-conference programs. Build your emergency preparedness skills with the Emergency Preparedness Certificate Program (EPCP) Course or give newer members of your team a strong foundation in destination management at the DMC Institute.

It’s time to AMPLIFY!
