About ACCESS

A history of looking to the future

Since our humble mom-and-pop beginnings as “ground operators” in the lobby of the San Diego Convention Center, we have been driven to be different, act different, think different, sell different, and operate different. We haven’t simply been in operation for 50 years – we’ve been thriving and growing and leading an industry we helped define and continue to redefine to this day.

ACCESS is the destination management company that coined the term (wait for it) destination management

Service is everything - and we are obsessed with getting it right

We understand how much is how much is riding on your program, and choosing the right DMC partner is critical to the overall success of your event. We survey every single one of our clients, and each year over 600 planners give ACCESS a perfect 5-star rating. 

Having worked with ACCESS on four different events in three cities over the past six months, it is good to be working with a company that feels like a true partner. ACCESS is getting to know our company, our culture and our attendees and what they like and expect.

We’ve used ACCESS in Miami, Orlando, Chicago, San Diego, Phoenix and Las Vegas. We frequently have programs outside of our area and now that our Events Team has gotten so small, ACCESS is an invaluable resource for us. I consider ACCESS more of an extension of our company versus the traditional vendor partner.
