Continuing its expansion into new locations across North America, the DMC Network proudly announced the addition of its latest network partner, metroConnections, Inc. of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“DMC Network partners are chosen according to very strict criteria,” says Sean Kirkland, EVP of Business Development for the DMC Network.
“They are industry leaders with track records of operational excellence and have the certifications and awards to prove it. They also have the ability to deliver truly authentic DMC service beyond mere logistics and tactical delivery.”
Kirkland continues, “The decision to affiliate with metroConnections was easy. They exceed industry standards, and their founder and CEO, Sam Thompson, has been setting industry standards for the last 30 years.”
Thompson opened the doors of metroConnections in April 1984 and under his leadership the company has emerged as a major player for major transportation moves including the shuttling programs for The U.S. Olympic Festival (1990); The U.S. Open (1991); The NCAA Final Four and The Super Bowl (1992); International Alcoholics Anonymous Convention (2000); The NCAA Final Four (2001); Lions Clubs Convention (2009); and the ESPN Joe Mauer Event (2010).
The company also boasts multi-year customers including Target Corporation and FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America).
In 2005, metroConnections was recognized with the Quality of Life Award. The company was also named to Special Events magazine’s list of Top 25 DMCs in the world, and has been named to that list every year since.
“We are honored to be associated with the premier collection of DMCs,” says CEO Thompson. “It’s reassuring to know we have quality partners around the globe that we can turn to when recommending DMC options for our customers.”
