Events/Conferences

Since 1981, DMSE has organized or consulted on more than 1,000 events, raising millions for charity and earning a reputation as one of the most thorough, well-organized race management firms in the U.S. DMSE's first event – the Bay State Triathlon at Wright's Pond in Medford, Mass. – attracted 100 participants and was one of the first triathlons ever held in New England and the nation. Dave McGillivray had competed in the 1980 Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii and brought the concept back to his native Northeast. A triathlete for years, McGillivray competed in eight Ironman triathlons and introduced the inspirational father-son team of Rick and Dick Hoyt to the sport. In January of 2011, he was inducted into the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame.Triathlons were just the beginning for DMSE. As the group organized more athletic events, McGillivray and his staff quickly earned a reputation as detail minded, safety oriented, and creative thinkers in the competitive arena of event management. In 1988, the B.A.A Boston Marathon appointed McGillivray technical director of the world-famous marathon, and in 2001 he was appointed race director – a title he holds today.
