“I feel so grateful to know I can always reach out to the DCI team and even if they can’t directly solve the issue, they know who to suggest I reach out to. Their network is unmatched. Thank you, DCI!”
"In The Game, holistically, was one of the most outstanding and memorable professional events I've attended. DCI's engaged team knew all of the attendees, facilitators, and speakers so personally. I was in complete awe of the genuine camaraderie and friendships that surfaced well above any formal, professional disposition commonly perceived at conferences. The content, format, events, and dine-arounds were thoughtful, fun and engaging. The esteemed roster of speakers and coaches showcased the talent draw and strength of DCI's network. Attendees were immersed in Durango, experiencing first-hand what a historic, vibrant, and strong main street (and community) looks and feels like. My community has been working with DCI only for a few years. I'm enthusiastic to say they have converted me to a life-long partner. In The Game was just the boost and positive reinforcement my team and I needed to get back into that resilient do-er mindset. It was truly an impactful week, and I can't wait for next year. Thank you, DCI."
"Not sure how this team does it, but they care for our community and all of the others in the program as if they have lived in those places their whole lives! Kat, Bill & Kylie's attention to detail is second to none. They are true DOERS!
“Where else can you discuss tax increment financing and karaoke strategy in the same meeting? DCI taught me that downtown revitalization requires equal parts spreadsheets and dance moves.” - Bill Shrum
