The Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) and the Committee for Charlotte in 2012 yesterday named the team of EventSphere, Akintayo Management Group and Q.C.-based It's My Affair to serve as the housing services vendor for the 2012 Democratic National Convention.

The DNCC is responsible for housing approximately 6,000 convention delegates, as well as certain elected officials, some media, security, production staff, allied groups, campaign staff, and other special guests. The housing services vendor will work closely with the DNCC housing department to manage the DNCC's hotel room blocks for convention week.

The vendor will be responsible for providing support teams, including call centers, website reservation services and fax machines; building on existing housing inventory, handling contracts and assisting with housing inspections; managing housing inventory, wait-list procedures and post cut-off procedures, among many other duties.

The three firms bid as a team. EventSphere and Akintayo Management Group identified It's My Affair for their partnership using the convention vendor directory, a tool that allows organizations and individuals to search for local companies to meet their convention-related needs. Local businesses can register for the vendor directory at www.charlottein2012.com. Future request for proposals will be issued through the vendor directory.

This is the fourth contract the DNCC and the Committee for Charlotte in 2012 have awarded. The first set of contracts for construction manager, event architect and event and exposition services provider were awarded in October.
