Conference and Meeting Logistics Support

DB’s experience reflects more than five hundred meetings of Technical Presentations, Technology Workshops and Seminars involving more than 100,000 attendees.  Our extensive national and international experience provides DB with the ability to respond to any type of conference/meeting requirement and audience, and to respond effectively to any unexpected challenge. Virtually nothing can happen at a meeting that DB has not yet seen or responded to effectively. The value of this institutionalized “know how” and experience cannot be calculated, yet it provides clients with the solid reassurance that their meetings, conferences, attendees and speakers are in thoroughly dependable hands.



DB staff has expertise in every aspect of meeting management, including:

• Agenda planning, including working with client planning committees
• Location and site negotiations and coordination from start to finish
• Food and beverage menu selection
• Web sites linked to online registration and confirmation databases
• Multi-Media equipment and support
• Speaker recommendation and travel coordination
• Materials in multiple formats, i.e. electronic, hardcopy, visuals
• Attendee communications
• Vendor relationship management
• Legal and financial management
• On-site problem solving response and implementation
• Post-conference wrap-up, including electronic dissemination of meeting proceedings, payment of all expenses and honoraria, and reconciliation of meeting invoices

This wealth of experience has also produced a wide range of pre-existing meeting procedures and tools that facilitate a quick, smooth phase-in to each project at a reduced cost. In particular, these tools permit clients to consider alternate strategies without incurring high development costs. These tools are adapted as needed to specific client requirements and to culturally different meetings, yet they ensure that no detail, however small, is overlooked.

The exceptional quality of DB’s professional services rests on the skill and knowledge base of its experienced staff. DB’s motivated professionals have the academic credentials and first-hand experience to meet clients’ unique requirements. They support every effort with their expertise and enthusiasm, diverse educational and professional backgrounds, pragmatic viewpoints, and a commitment to competent and cost-effective problem solving.

DB provides all conference management staff with continuous information and training in meeting management practices and related areas, such as federal travel regulations, the hotel and travel industries, meeting related media, information technology, security, and emergency preparedness.

We have provided a full range of meeting support services to NASA, ED, DHS, HHS, and HUD. As an example, DB has supported more than 100 NASA meetings involving 30,000 participants for NASA headquarters’ organizations and individual NASA centers.
