Rooted in Des Moines. Connected to an industry without borders.
Fresh Ideas. Lasting Connections.
A community for event professionals to connect, collaborate, and inspire one another.
MINT DSM brings together meeting and event professionals in Greater Des Moines who plan experiences across the country and around the globe.
From local meetings and corporate events to conferences, incentive travel, and experiences around the world, our work may take us anywhere. MINT DSM gives us a place to come together here at home to share ideas, exchange resources, discover new partners, and build relationships with people who understand the industry.
Welcome to MINT DSM
Meetings. Incentives. Networking. Trends.
What started as conversations among friends in the events industry grew into something bigger: a community built around collaboration, curiosity, and meaningful connections.
MINT DSM brings event professionals together to learn from one another, share experiences and recommendations, discover new ideas, and expand the network of people and partners we can turn to wherever our events take us.
Our community may be rooted in Des Moines, but our ideas, relationships, and events reach far beyond it.
No sales pitches. No commitments. Just good people, fresh ideas, and great connections.
Connect. Discover. Be Inspired.
Connect
Build genuine relationships with fellow planners and industry professionals who understand the challenges, opportunities, and excitement that come with creating great events.
Discover
Meet venues, destinations, hotels, suppliers, and creative partners from Des Moines and beyond. Explore new experiences, resources, and ideas that could inspire your next event, wherever it may be.
Learn
Share what’s working, talk trends, exchange recommendations, and learn from the real-world experiences of fellow professionals and industry partners.
What’s Fresh at MINT
There’s always something new to discover.
MINT DSM meetups bring our community together through venue tours, partner experiences, informal networking, industry conversations, and plenty of idea sharing along the way.
One meetup might introduce you to a hidden gem right here in Des Moines. The next might connect you with a destination, hotel, experience, or event partner perfect for a program hundreds or thousands of miles away.
It’s all about expanding what we know and who we know.
MINTed
Places, partners, and ideas worth knowing.
Great event ideas can come from anywhere.
MINTed is where we share the venues, destinations, hotels, experiences, event partners, food and beverage ideas, and fresh finds that catch our attention, both close to home and farther afield.
Think of it as inspiration from our community for wherever your next event takes you.
