Testimonials
This being the third time in Washington DC for this event, it presented a challenge on how to make the destination experience fresh, rewarding and memorable. With CSI’s creative input and flawless delivery of activities and events these objectives have been achieved with flying colors.
Werner G. HaaseHaving never managed an event like this, I was completely dependent on CSI to make it happen. You and your team planned and executed the event flawlessly. As a result, I was eager to secure CSI for the following years’ events, and once again, you met all of my expectations and provided the Spirent team with a wonderful experience.
Chris KeenanCSI Washington DC has been an approved DMC for Maritz Travel for over 20 years. They continually deliver above and beyond.
Linda SchweissBecause of the CSI partnership, we are able to continue and strengthen our conference and special events, and develop new and innovative ways to expand and improve each year. The consistency from year to year is invaluable and a huge time savings so that we do not need to retrain a new company. The events were a great. Your ground staff were unfailingly courteous, helpful and professional in every way!
Jared CohenThis year was fantastic. (YEAR FOUR, can you believe it?) I love that I don’t even have to give a thought when CSI is involved
Wendy ReedThe IPLI program is scheduled to continue its pilot program for the next three years, in close partnership with the Microsoft Corporation. The success of this unique, innovative program could not have been possible without your invaluable support. Thank you, CSI.
Horacio Gutierrez, Esq.CSI is a valued partner in the hospitality industry. As a destination management company you understand the needs of your clients and work towards the customers goals.
Sharon Chapman, CMP, CMMI felt like we were the #1 priority as I am sure all their other customers do as well. Selecting the right DMC is a critical decision in a meeting of this size and the CSI team did an outstanding job!
Wendy MidkiffEverything went so smoothly from the site visit, pre planning, ground transportation and events. The onsite reception and football game theme were wonderful. The ground transportation was perfect as were the dine around and one off meals you helped us put together. We look forward to working with you again on a future program.
