DMAI EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Education and professional development are vital to DMAI, since its inception. Over the years, the various programs offered by the organization have evolved with the needs of destination and the industry. As DMAI plans for its 2016 programs, you can expect:

A meeting point exclusively for the DMO community where skilled minds gather and transfer their experiences and knowledge.

An environment of dynamic discussions to distill issues that challenge the growth of destination

marketing and management organizations around the globe.

An exchange of ideas to expand networks and make new connections – forums to drive solutions

and proliferate concepts - that impact destination marketing and management performance.

A dedicated space to inspire visionary growth, challenge practices and question norms for future

enhancement.

SIX reasons why DMOs attend:

1. Unification: Bring the industry closer together to empower the DMO community to serve as an

economic driver.

2. Evolution: Discuss how change and transformation can be best harnessed for the DMO community.

3. Peer-to-Peer Discussions: In addition to speaker expertise, having ones’ peers in the audience

provides key value through best practice exchanges.

4. Experience: Speakers, partners and colleagues not only talk about issues of importance to the DMO

community, but also share personal insights and their expertise.

5. Diversity of Thought: Assemble the best in local insight and national expertise, from a group of

emerging and established leaders who represent a variety of industry and market sectors.

6. Continuing Education: Specific content designed to advance the knowledge and skills of DMO

professionals that includes DMAP industry standards. The Summits also satisfy credit hours toward

DMAI’s Professional in Destination Management (PDM) Certificate.
