Cohera

Cohera is a destination management company that designs and runs meetings, incentives, conferences and special events, including programs in Boston. It describes its approach as a creative-agency mindset applied to destination management, pairing bold thinking with disciplined logistics. Services span program design, venue sourcing, transportation coordination and on-site execution, aimed at planners who want events that feel anything but standard.

The company grew out of DMC roots and was formerly known as 360DG and CSI DMC. It recently acquired the destination management business of Destination South, adding Atlanta, Charleston, Savannah and Palmetto Bluff and bringing its reach to 50 destinations nationwide, each with a strong local presence. In Boston, its planning guidance points to the Seaport convention district, historic neighborhoods like Back Bay and Beacon Hill, university venues and group dining from the North End to Chinatown.
