As clearly said to the crowd over the cocktail event in Sydney; "DMS Connect is becoming the event of the year for the Australian MICE trade". You can equally call it, the Who is Who of Australian MICE

I have been involved in many trade show all over the world and find that DMS Connect provides the right, more intimate atmosphere where business can be conducted on a personal basis. It is about quality rather than quantity.

Eugenio Totaro, Owner/Managing Director, DestinAlp

Thank-you so much for the invite to the DMS Connect day I really found it quite beneficial not only for me personally but also for our business. When you are put in contact with someone who is directly linked to a particular area options just seem to be endless and you learn so much more about a destination. We are always trying to find something different to offer our clients as we are fast becoming a well travelled country and people want unique and different experiences now. They want "bragging rights' in this day in age so to find unique things to share with people it is really important to us as it sets us apart from the rest. I can't wait to offer our clients the new services of the suppliers I have met. I feel like I have been open up to a whole new world! Not only will our FIT clients benefit from this but so will our groups as we are starting to get quite a few of those now. We will look forward to the next one!

To be in the company of so many other amazing DMC's was an honour and the level of professionalism between DMS, the DMC's and the PCO's was amazing. A great opportunity for us newby's to showcase Vanuatu to the MICE market but more importantly the chance to get in front of 'The Right' people. And a classy group all round and so nice to be with like minded people. Thanks again.
