Registration is now open for one of DMAI's most popular professional development offering - Membership Shirtsleeves!  Coming to Washington, DC on 21-24 October, this interactive event brings together DMO professionals to find solutions to shared challenges and collaborate on the latest membership, partnership and sponsorship trends.
 
In addition to hours of candid discussion and direct peer access, one of this year's two keynote sessions features Gail Bower, president of Bower & Co. Consulting LLC. Author of How to Jump-start Your Sponsorship Strategy in Tough Times, Bower will provide important considerations and best practices for DMO corporate partnerships. Bower will show you:
  • What corporate sponsorship is and how it differs from other revenue forms
  • The benefits of sponsorship for your organization
  • What it looks like when executed strategically
  • How to weave in your mission and why that's critical
  • The three most common pitfalls organizations make and how to avoid them

Membership Shirtsleeves will be held at the Dupont Hotel in Washington, DC. Located in one of the US capital's most vibrant burros, the Dupont Hotel places you just steps away from cafes, shops, embassies, and one of the hippest social scenes that DC has to offer. Within feet of the Washington area's Metro Rail System, take advantage of easy transportation access to all areas of Washington.
