About Destinaitor

Destinaitor is an AI-driven SaaS platform co-developed by PCMA and dFakto, designed to revolutionize how business events professionals search for, compare, and verify destinations and venues.

Born from PCMA’s legacy of innovation and dFakto’s expertise in secure, intelligent data platforms, Destinaitor addresses today’s evolving needs in event planning and management. It combines the power of generative AI and machine learning, industry-validated data sources, and human oversight to deliver streamlined, trustworthy selections for decision-makers.

Why It Matters

The business events landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation, demanding smarter, more data-driven tools. Destinaitor responds to this shift by leveraging:

  • Generative AI, which surfaces and synthesizes content,
  • Human validation through destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and venues,
  • Strategic data integrations (like Tempest and Simpleview) offering verified sustainability, safety, economics, infrastructure, and more.

This powerful convergence helps business events professionals make faster, more accurate decisions, while empowering destinations and venues to manage and highlight their unique strengths.

Joint Venture Advantage

  • PCMA, a global leader in business events education and strategy, brings a trusted community of business events professionals and domain expertise.
  • dFakto, a Brussels- and Paris-based expert in secure, compliant data platforms (notably beVault and proPilot), provides the scalable tech backbone to ingest, validate, and deploy complex data sets.

Together, they’ve built Destinaitor to extend PCMA’s mission of innovation and industry support, while giving destinations and venues the tools to “own their narrative” and connect with high-value event opportunities.
