Reed Agnew on "Why DMI?"

Reed Agnew

The caliber of attendees and their diversity of backgrounds and interest always make participation in or attendance of events and interaction with other members exceptionally rewarding.

How has DMI membership benefited your company?

  • Membership provides a mechanism to acknowledge and reward our senior people, providing them access to other points of connection to their profession.

  • DMI's conferences provide our firm an opportunity to hear a diversity of top notch thought leaders from a variety of fields who influence our thinking, our projects, and our design practice.

  • Conferences also provide a collegial atmosphere for the fluent exchange of ideas among peers---outstanding people from corporations and consultancies who are grappling with the same challenges and issues that we face every day.

  • Seminars enable our whole firm to participate in programs without travel, elaborate logistics, and associated expenses. The cost/benefit ratio is outstanding.

 

Why you are still a member?

I've been a member for over 25 years and while, year to year, programs vary in interest or relevance to me, the overall trend at DMI as been continual growth and improvement---not just in size and influence but more importantly, in breadth of topics, quality, and professionalism. Beyond the programs, the caliber of attendees and their diversity of backgrounds and interest always make participation in or attendance of events and interaction with other members exceptionally rewarding.
