"Building on the nexus between these organizations in the District of Columbia supports our 'One City' vision and contributes to making the nation's capital a more exciting, livable, workable and prosperous city," said Gray.
O'Dell added that aligning the three brands creates an environment that's easier for customers to understand and navigate. And because Events DC clearly expresses the organization's focus, conference and event planners will recognize it as the place to turn when they're in search of a Washington, DC venue.
The brand's graphic identity system uses color to define Events DC's three divisions—Conventions and Meetings, Sports and Entertainment, and Special Events—enabling customers to pinpoint the division they need.
"It's exciting to see Events DC making so much progress. But I believe the best is yet to come: More conventions and meetings that will attract visitors from around the world. More sports, entertainment and cultural events that will infuse our local economy with millions in spending. And greater investment in community programs that engage, excite and entertain diverse audiences," said Gray.
