Need a Panama DMC? Start with the Right Partner

I’m not a destination management company—but I know exactly how they work, and I help meeting planners navigate Panama with the right DMC partners and the right strategy.

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.

  • 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.

Your Liaison, Not Your Vendor

I’m not trying to replace the DMC—I’m here to help you work with them smarter.

My role is to:

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

What I Bring to Your Program

  • 40+ years of group travel, meetings, and event experience
  • 10 years in convention centers and 30+ years in hotel services leadership
  • Firsthand DMC operational understanding
  • On-the-ground experience in Panama for over 15 years
  • Trusted local network of DMCs, vendors, and transport teams

My goal is to make your DMC’s work seamless—and your event unforgettable.
