Destination Marketing Association International (DMAI) welcomed the SmithBucklin + MCI Global Partnership as one of DMAI’s elite Alliance Partners.
Alliance Partner status is reserved for a select group of service and product providers that are valuable resources for destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and make a significant investment in the association.
SmithBucklin is the world’s largest association management company, providing flexible, tailored full-service management and function-specific services to more than 210 trade associations and organizations.
MCI is the foremost global association, communications and event management company with 14 offices throughout Europe and Asia.
The two companies joined together in February 2006 to create the SmithBucklin + MCI Global Partnership, delivering seamless association and event management services worldwide.
“SmithBucklin and MCI have proven to be unparalleled partners to the DMO community. They have created a culture of respect and friendship with DMOs and have keenly tapped into the valuable resource DMOs provide meeting professionals and their clients,” remarked DMAI President & CEO Michael D. Gehrisch.
“We are honored that the SmithBucklin + MCI Global Partnership has chosen DMAI as the first and only industry organization that they support with a substantial financial contribution. Their involvement with DMAI underscores their belief that DMOs are the strength of the meetings and conventions industry.”
“This partnership with DMAI solidifies a relationship we have long fostered with hundreds of DMOs,” said SmithBucklin Chairman and CEO Henry S. Givray. “Over the years, DMAI members have played an important role in helping us create extraordinary value for our client organizations.”
“We are pleased to show our commitment to the destination marketing industry and look forward to a long, productive future working together,” said Roger Tondeur, MCI President.
MCI has also been selected to open a DMAI office in Brussels and spearhead the expansion of DMAI’s international presence.
In February 2006, the DMAI Foundation awarded its annual Spirit of Hospitality Award to SmithBucklin for its continued support of destination marketing organizations. |
