We were so happy to partner with our friends over at Kiawah Island Golf Resort new West Beach Conference Center to create some amazing events.

When you look to the future 12 months, I know we are all hopeful there will be a vaccine or therapeutic. What that translates to is confidence. What that translates to is taking fear and making it caution." We were thrilled to have Dan Tavrytzky, Managing Director of the DMC Network, LLC speak on the panel in Atlanta for the Teneo Hospitality Group hybrid event last month.

After years of dreaming and planning, Destination South’s coastal office opened its doors two years ago. The support from our longtime clients, vendors, and cheerleaders has been overwhelming. We are thrilled to bring our Destination South way to a new location and to continue growing this business! We will never tire of the opportunities that working along the coast allow us - from the al fresco dining to the rich history, utmost hospitality, and even the chance to be surrounded by the outdoor beauty of the Lowcountry. #25years #Charleston #Savannah #CHS #SAV #Lowcountry #Events #corporateEvents #meetingprofs #DMC #Celebrate #ExperientialDesign #EventMarketing #25 DMC Network, LLC

Did we mention that #13 was one of our lucky numbers? That’s how long DSME has been planning and executing meetings for our clients in the US, and more recently world-wide. It’s one aspect of our work that makes us unique and brings so much to our lives, personally and professionally. The relationships and partnerships that have evolved alongside the amazing growth of our meetings department has enriched us in ways too many to count! And a special tip of the hat goes to our Director of Meetings, Tim Barrett. Our meetings team, clients and partners are #05 in our countdown to 25. #meetingprofs #companyoffirsts #top10 #Anniversary #DMC @DMCNetworkllc #Atlanta #Charleston #Savannah #Celebrate #EventProfs #ExperientalDesign #EventMarketing #Events #25

It seems like only yesterday...15,000 guests literally RAN cheering into Centennial Olympic Park for three hours of camping inspired adventure. Decor, three live music stages, wild rides, interactive games and activities, strolling performances, and incredible food and drinks welcomed one and all to one of the most beautiful nights our city has ever seen. We tapped the talents and resources of both longtime and new amazing event partners for some serious teamwork and dreamwo...rk. #06 on our countdown -and one the most incredible events our team has ever had the pleasure to design and produce- Camp Ignite!

Our third Company of Firsts highlight comes to you from downtown Atlanta once again, this time on Restaurant Row and Marietta Street. For our locally based corporate client, we closed the street for the first massive block party there of its kind. With a little logistics wizardry and the power of relationships, we created two unique parties with separate entrance/exit points and shuttle routes for guest flow. The parties featured distinct design, live entertainment and act...ivations for a one-of-a-kind vibe in each space. #07 on our countdown is the Restaurant Row Block Party!
