The sector of Destination Marketing has undergone several identity crises, resulting in name changes. Thus, the “Destination Marketing Organisation” (DMO) is becoming “Destination Development, Management and Marketing Organisation” (DDMMO). Of course we do not want to come up with another acronym but this is a way of describing the changes occurring in both Tourism Industry and Meetings Industry. DMOs require a much fuller and deeper coalition of destination partnerships to maintain the visibility of their destination as a great place to live, work, study and visit. With this holistic approach, there is for sure room for DMOs to engage not only towards leisure travellers but also with meetings, incentives conferences and events industry in a targeted way that meets the wider policy objectives of their city.
This was a presentation we did to the MBA on Marketing trends, topics and to dos. It was plugged into their marketing component of the curriculum. They were a great group of people and we had an awesome discussion throughout the presentation.

et ready to blaze your path to IMEX

industry trade show in the U.S. and
the country’s foremost business, education
and networking opportunity.
Find every type of supplier in one place
and seal your deals with decision-makers,

sessions and circulate and connect with thou-
sands of your peers from around the world.
On Smart Monday, powered by MPI,
Jonathan Bradshaw sets your show pro-

behind interpersonal communication in his
headline MPI Keynote. Two big themes
run throughout our education program: the
sharing economy and “where personal meets

sociation Focus program provides on-point
education for both association executives
and association CEOs.
Countless co-located industry events
prove IMEX America is where the meet-
ings industry is at this October. There’s no
excuse for coming home without a plethora
of new contacts with opportunities to click
over cocktails, gather on the golf course
or “sweatwork” along the Strip on the
IMEXrun.
We’re here to help you make the most of
every minute — from Zenvoy introductions
to easy-to-manage appointment scheduling.
Read on to see what’s waiting for you in
Vegas. We can’t wait to see you there!
