How may we assist you?
Complex events, large or small, require the expertise of a firm experienced in meeting management and cost control. When adding business travel, entertaining top level executives and international clientele, an entire new set of challenges come into play.
Conference & Meeting Management
DKG manages programs domestically and internationally for groups as intimate as a 5 person board meeting to conferences for 5,000. In the preliminary stages of designing a program, we take time to gain a full understanding of the target audience and meeting objectives. Once defined, we implement this information to develop a successful, high impact program. As a full service planning firm, DKG is ready to undertake any segment of your project, or manage the entire program from beginning to end.
Site Selection & Hotel Contract Negotiation
Time is your most precious commodity and we want to give you back some of it to do the things you want to do – the things you enjoy…We also know searching multiple cities for the “perfect” location for your next meeting may not be on the top of your list. Here’s where we come in…
DKG will do the research for you! We’ll take the phone calls, obtain proposals from multiple cities/properties for your conference or meeting, and we’ll present a comprehensive report back to you highlighting the specific offers each property is making, as well as their drawbacks, all the while focused on your program’s specific needs.
Then, representing your interests, we’ll facilitate the contract process to assure you receive the best possible package. All the while you remain in control, not overwhelmed, and all at no cost to you.
Special Events
Put sizzle into your special events and pizzazz into your parties ... from Grand Openings to Retirement Celebrations. Pairing food with wine, theme, props and entertainment, we leave nothing to chance. We take care to assure each aspect of your special event is planned with detail and sophistication.
From the very beginning, we’ll set the event tone with the right promotional material, invitations, and advertising. Be it non-profit or corporate, fundraising or just for fun, DKG assures your event will be the talk of the town! Our reputation is proven and references are available upon request.
Strategic Planning
We also specialize in corporate, public, and non-profit staff and leadership facilitation of strategic business and organizational planning. From groups of five to hundreds, from small organizations to large corporations and divisions or departments – DKG has assembled the best and brightest with cutting edge facilitation techniques and organizational leadership backgrounds: ask to speak with our seasoned, credentialed specialist about your specific needs.
Travel Incentive Programs
Many companies are increasing their incentive packages to include not only monetary and merchandise incentives, but travel. Travel awards are efficient investments that have so many positive attributes!
• memories lasting a lifetime
• bonding with other achievers
• team building
• improved employee moral
Merchandise Incentive Programs
Merchandise is another dynamic motivator, but only if the gift items are something that will appeal to your audience. We design and create custom catalogues with merchandise selections and cost ranges especially for your group. We offer highly desirable items, along with unique and unusual awards. DKG handles the administration, management, and tracking details, thereby assuring the simplest incentive program you’ve ever implemented.
Teambuilding
Strong unified teams are essential in any corporation. In times of crisis great teams turn inward and help one another face the challenges, while a weak team will crumble under the pressure.
However, great teams don’t just happen, they are built. After evaluating the demographics of all participants, DKG will put together a team-building program with activities, which are selected to enrich the camaraderie between players.
From more serious sessions designed to address conflict within organizations or teams to wine making in the Napa Valley, competing in your own “Grand Prix” or discovering the next clue in a scavenger hunt in your own city - participants will come away from the experience better understanding the concept of “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”.
For extreme adventures, we offer experiences such as kayaking through whitewater, adventure racing over forbidding terrain, biking through mountains, and living on adrenaline.
Whichever type of program you chose, your team will be talking about the experience for a long time to come. Let the games begin!
Retreats
Retreats are also highly valuable to your company. Taking your employees or leadership away from the office and into an environment that is conducive to relaxation will reap dividends beyond your expectation. Ideas form more readily, daily pressures lift and your group will come back refreshed & ready for action. DKG matches facilitators with your specific needs and group dynamics.
Golf Tournaments
One of the best avenues for entertaining clients, rewarding employees or fundraising, is hosting a golf tournament. Whether your guests are avid golfers or just out to have a good time, we have the resources and staffing to create, orchestrate and achieve the event that’s just right. DKG takes care of all the details, so you can relax and enjoy your own game.
