Beth Lockwood, President

President of Details NYC, ​​Beth Lockwood is a native and passionate New Yorker with 30+ years of experience in the group tourism and hotel sector. With an unparalleled background in the planning and management of corporate incentive programs, meetings, and special interest groups, she is knowledgeable and innovative in terms of the services she provides. However, Beth is not just the business owner, but a hands-on member of the Details NYC team who brings with her a down-to-earth personality and a resourceful nature, as well as her passion for sustainability. A self-motivated leader with a problem-solving mindset, she is committed to and guarantees the success of each and every event.

Beth first entered the industry through hospitality, before accepting a position in the leisure group department at the legendary Warwick Hotel in New York City. Soon after, she landed a job in the New York based sales office of a large Mexican hotel chain. There, she spent several years as a Group Sales Manager and traveled throughout Mexico. Having fallen in love with the country, she accepted a position with a prestigious Destination Management Company in the beautiful resort of Cancun, Mexico, and lived there for 2 years. Eventually, she felt a calling to return to NYC where she spent the next six years working for a leading DMC. That is until 2002, when she noticed a demand for a wider range of services she could provide and broke off to launch Details NYC.

Over the last two decades, Beth has built Details NYC, a Certified Woman Owned Business, into the thoughtful, creative and welcoming DMC that it is today, and continually strives to push herself and her staff to seek better ways to serve their clients. During the pandemic, Beth has received event safety training with the WHO’s Covid-19 Operational Planning Guideline, as well as ADMEI’s Emergency Preparedness certification, in order to promote the safety of both her clients and her city. She has also certified as a Sustainable Event Strategist through MPI – tying into her deep value of conservation and eco-conscious practices.

When Beth is not working with clients or wrangling vendors, she can be found capturing the beauty and culture of the New York boroughs with her camera or volunteering for her favorite animal rescue.
