HOSTED BUYER PROGRAM
Now Reach MORE Highly-Qualified Decision Makers— from beyond Washington, DC and Chicago!
For more than 20 years, Destinations Showcase has attracted key decision makers responsible for site selection of many of the nation’s largest association, corporate, and government conferences, conventions, and trade shows. In 2009, Destinations Showcase will expand its reach beyond planners in Washington, DC, and Chicago, with a new hosted buyer program.
Sign-up today for exclusive access to this expanded audience of pre-qualified key decision-makers who are responsible for large-scale conferences, conventions, and trade shows. With your help, DMAI will actively recruit planners from outside the Washington and Chicago regions and invite them to participate in our new hosted buyer program—which includes round-trip transportation to their choice of Destinations Showcase Washington or Chicago, complete with lodging, and pre-arranged appointments with five or more destinations of their choice.
