Our work includes conferences, corporate meetings, customer events, incentive programs, grand openings, business anniversary celebrations and more. We provide comprehensive event planning support from concept through post-event evaluation.

Services include meeting design, project management, creative, venue sourcing, logistics, speaker coordination, trade show management, supplier management, registration and mobile apps and onsite management.

As Detroit's premier Destination Management Company, we combine local knowledge, trusted supplier relationships, and operational expertise to create authentic experiences. With 30+ years of experience, our long-standing partnerships provide access, flexibility, and efficiencies for out-of-market planners. We know who to call, how to navigate challenges, and how to get things done.

We believe that whether people attend to celebrate, learn, network, solve problems or simply have fun at our clients’ events, they are changed in some way because of the experience. That’s why our mission is to change our world for the better, one experience at a time. #GatherWithPurpose
