In June of 2008 GEP Philly sucessfully completed the requirements for ADME's Destination Management Company Accreditation program. This program is designed to elevate professional standards and designate firms that demonstrate advanced knowledge and experience essential to the practice of destination management. The Accredited Destination Management Company (ADMC) designation assists the meeting planning community by identifying and qualifying standards and criteria that are indicative of the highest quality destination management service providers. This program recognizes DMCs that meet and adhere to these standards.
The program:
