Full Service
Convention, Meeting and Exhibit Management
As a full-service management company, DMG offers convention, meeting and exhibit management. We make these services available to both stand-alone associations and businesses.Planning and managing meetings and exhibits is time consuming because of the attention required by the myriad of logistical details. Moreover, these concerns often take time away from planning the most important meeting matters: speakers and session topics. DMG manages over 70 meetings a year, which means we deal with hotels, convention bureaus and entertainment companies everyday, not once a year. DMG books over 20,000 room nights each year, giving all of our clients increased buying power. DMG's meetings department can manage all or any part of an organization's meetings or exhibit needs.

Trade Show Management
At DMG we believe this is your organization's show. Our philosophy is to provide the strategic guidance and logistical recommendations that will help make your event successful. With our team approach, the process begins with the thorough pre-show planning and preparation focused on serving the organization and the show exhibitors.
