About Us

This is what we live for. This is what we do.

Destination South has been delivering award-winning meetings and experiences for corporations, associations, and non-profits since 1995. Founded by Cynthia Alford, we built a reputation for innovative, transformative programs from 50 to 40,000 attendees across the Southeast and beyond.

That legacy is very much alive in what DSME is today.

As Destination South steps into its next chapter as Destination South Meetings + Experiences, we've made a deliberate choice to focus entirely on meetings. A dedicated team, a singular mission, and the full weight of 30 years of expertise behind every program we touch.

The commitment to ethics, innovation, and flawless execution that made Destination South a nationally recognized standard of excellence? That doesn't change. It deepens.

We believe in the power of meetings. We believe in delivering the impossible.
