Turning Chaos Into Magical Memories
Destination and event management companies are exceptional at hosting a wide range of events and as I travel I have found that Baltimore may just have the best destination management company anywhere.
Once upon a time I worked in the marketing department of the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. I was over the advertising of the hotels showroom facility and prepared sales materials for the staff to sell the showroom for events, parties, product launches and corporate events. It was the responsibility of the sales staff to coordinate all of the venues events including menu creation, seating arrangements for dinner, booking entertainment, providing concierge service, staffing the event with waiters, models or whatever was needed and them making themselves available to ensure the success of the event.
I watched as the team put on one event after another. The launch party of an IPO from a corporate sponsor, a private party with special guest performer Snoop Doggy Dog, conventioneers launching new products at CES and COMDEX, the team brought everything together without a hitch, but behind the scenes they ran frantically from one task to the next, making incalculable phone calls and checking on every detail then reporting their progress to the event sponsor.
I admired their dedication to each client they serviced and I admire an industry that brings a variety of elements together to entertain, excite and celebrate the accomplishments of others. I have seen what happens behind the scenes and I and grateful that there is a destination management company in Annapolis that takes my headache out of putting on an event.
