Our mission
As the pre-eminent organization for Destination Management Executives, the mission is to increase the professionalism and effectiveness of destination management through member and industry education, establishment of standard ethical practices and raise the level of awareness of the value of destination management to the respective association, corporate and general public.

Who We Are
Owners and CEOs of the most experienced and long-standing destination management companies in existence form the framework of the Association of Destination Management Executives (ADME). These visionaries came together in 1995, after a series of exploratory meetings in which they agreed an organization was needed to represent this segment of the travel and meetings industry. Many concerned companies donated funds to establish the only non-profit association in existence today for destination management company executives and their staffs. We are not a lead-generating or marketing consortium. We supply information to corporate and association meetings professionals regarding member DMCs in their locale or a locale in which they will be managing meetings, events, incentive programs, etc.

Our Principles of Professional and Ethical Conduct
ADME adopted these principals in 1997. Click here to review them.
