What Makes a DMC Succeed? Experience. Communication. Precision.

In my 40+ years in hotels and convention centers, I didn’t just work with DMCs—I worked inside them. I trained alongside line-level staff and helped execute major programs from arrival to departure.

That hands-on experience taught me how to support planners by ensuring that your DMC team understands exactly what your group needs and expects—down to the minute-by-minute details. To succeed with any Panama-based DMC, comprehension of these details is crucial.

• VIP arrivals and delegate transportation
• Excursions, dine-arounds, and guest flow logistics
• Welcome events, branded activations, cultural experiences
• Spouse programs, entertainment, AV and production
• Hierarchy of protocol, security, and guest recognition

When you work with me, I become your liaison to Panama’s top DMCs, helping you get the most out of your relationships and ensuring execution exceeds expectations.

My role is to:

• Advise planners on the best local DMCs for their program needs in Panama
• Translate planning goals into DMC-ready action steps
• Bridge cultural, operational, and service expectation gaps
• Represent your groups interests on the ground in Casco Viejo & Panama

Whether you’re planning for 200 or 5,000 guests, I have the scope, the language, and the operational knowledge to support your vision from site selection to post-con wrap-up.
