Destination Source is ready to save your organization money and exceed your expectations. Here is what some of our clients are saying:

The Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association, Inc. (“CEMA”), has been fortunate to work with Destination Source, LLC, and Mark Henry for over twenty years. Mark Henry’s knowledge of the hospitality industry and his attention to detail is second to none. Mark has been an essential and highly valued team member when planning CEMA’s meetings. He consistently delivers the best prices, terms, and properties for CEMA’s meetings. His conscientious follow-up prior to and after each event is invaluable. We highly recommend Mark for anyone looking to produce first rate conferences. Mark is simply the best in the industry!

Mark has worked with APGA for over 25 years. He has done an outstanding job in identifying venues and locations that meet APGA’s needs, and our members are consistently pleased with the hotels and locations that have been chosen. Mark has also worked well with each of our individual chairpersons in identifying what each chairperson is looking for in an annual conference location and providing options that meet their expectations. Mark has also done an excellent job in negotiating favorable rates and terms with hotels and has always met deadlines, including very short deadlines, in a timely manner.

I have been working with Mark Henry at Destination Source for over 20 years while I worked at several different associations. I am an events/meetings department of one – and also wear many other hats in our organization. Needless to say, working with a knowledgeable and reliable destination professional like Mark is invaluable and saves me so much time and heartache! Mark knows my organization and my needs as much (if not better) than I do and I am confident that his work on site selection, contract review and negotiation will be thorough, professional and insightful. I literally could not do my job without the assistance and services provided by Destination Source!

Without a doubt, Mark Henry of Destination Source is our “go to guy” when it comes to booking venues for our six clients. He is well versed when it comes to recommending cities and hotels/resorts within those cities – keeping our clients’ varied preferences and composition in mind. Our clients have fairly tight purse strings, but that doesn’t bother Mark. He respects our clients’ budgets and is open to negotiating fair deals for all parties involved. While we’re all still experiencing some repercussions from the COVID-19 pandemic, Mark never wavered as we maneuvered through unchartered waters, which often resulted in canceled contracts or renegotiated contracts for future dates. With heartfelt thanks, I am grateful for the unselfish work and attention to details that Mark carries out for our trade association clients.
