Why Use MeetingsIn?

We are a user-friendly site that helps people who don't plan meetings all the time but need the same tools as those who do.  Venues and suppliers choose MeetingsIn because they know it provides them qualified leads for the small to mid-tier meetings market without commissions or transaction fees.

What is MeetingsIn?

We are a qualified lead generator to venues who are interested in reaching the planners of small to mid size meetings who don't typically plan meetings day in and day out. These planners are typically secretaries, administrative assistants, executive assistants, etc., who plan meetings maybe once or twice a year and do so amidst other job responsibilities. These people do not typically have the same level of meeting planning expertise as professional planners.  As a result, they don't typically use professional tools and resources the industry offers.  Moreover, they may be unfamiliar with industry terminology, contract negotiations and how to make their meeting a huge success.  MeetingsIn provides these planners an easy-to-use, comprehensive resource that will enable them to secure their venue and arrange their meeting with ease and confidence.

Planner Tools

MeetingsIn has a comprehensive array of information, tools and guides that help planners organize and prepare for their meeting.  From easy to use organization tips, to guides for contract negotiations and downloadable check-lists, MeetingsIn provides today's planner with the information they need to ensure they are prepared for their meeting to the best of their ability.  We also offer destination specific guides and resource information for when the planner is at their meeting.  Information on translation services, copy and fax information as well as medical resources are all available in one easy-to-use destination site geared for the occasional meeting planner. 

Destination Sites

MeetingsIn destination sites provide planners with a unique look into their destination of choice providing them location-specific information and planning tips to help them prepare for and conduct their meeting. Destinations now including London, New Orleans, Hong Kong, Singapore, Boston, Las Vegas, Bali, Jakarta, Sydney, New Zealand and Kuala Lumpur, with 50 more to be launched by the end of 2011, are filled with guides that help planners organize their event.  Each site includes country and destination-specific city guides, business resources and numbers, transportation resources, information regarding customs and local business practices as well as current weather and packing guides. MeetingsIn destination/micro sites provide planners a one-stop resource to help them through the planning process without having to spend extra time searching other websites for the information they need.
