The Event Management Division's goal is to accommodate the needs of our clients.
Put Our Expertise to Work for You
For more than twelve years, through a dedicated focus on the information technology industry, DCI has developed knowledge, expertise, and a quality reputation that is unparalleled. We consistently deliver events that are of the highest quality and are recognized as such throughout the IT community. With a current staff level of more than 150 employees, DCI can provide this unwavering quality and continuity to any client's event.The details that go into planning an event, regardless of its size, are seemingly endless. Many organizations simply don't have the knowledge and/or the resources to put together such a function. Our experience has shown that unless a company has dedicated resources (internal or external) devoted strictly to managing an event/s, the likelihood of achieving the desired goals substantially diminished.
DCI has developed, tested, and fine-tuned data-driven marketing models. Using these models to determine optimum marketing strategies, we have dramatically increased both our partners' and our own marketing exposure.
DCI's Technology Advantages
DCI uses the latest information technologies to reach more customers and prospects. This is most apparent in our various automated electronic information dissemination and registration systems. Attendees can register for events through a variety of new and innovative methods such as the Internet, Web pages, and EMail, as well as through tried and true methods such as fax, mail, and phone.How DCI Can Exceed Your Expectations
When a company contracts to work with DCI, a project team is immediately assigned to the event. This team consists of project, marketing, and exhibit sales managers whose mission is to understand the objectives of the event and provide the necessary resources to achieve and surpass the goals laid out for the event. DCI's in-house telemarketing and customer service departments also play a critical role in the success of the program. With these key elements in place, the planning for a successful event can begin.Our turn-key services include overall event project management; venue selection and contract negotiation; marketing, planning and implementation; conference program design/ management; conference attendee marketing and sales; exposition planning, sales and management; telemarketing; registration; travel services (air and hotel); on-site logistics management; financial management; conference evaluation reporting; and other services as needed.
