Frequently Asked Questions

What is MeetingsIn?
MeetingsIn is a global website designed to help occasional planners and those who plan meetings for 10 to 200 people, with an easy RFP tool (accessing thousands of unique venues and hotels) and useful destination information and planning resources that will help secure meeting space and plan a meeting. 

Who uses MeetingsIn?
Whether you are a professional planner, secretary, personal assistant, office manager or just organizing a small get together, everyone is welcome to use MeetingsIn.  Our tools and information are professional and comprehensive yet are easy enough to use for someone new to the meetings industry.

How do I use MeetingsIn?
You can use MeetingsIn to: 1) Search and compare venues, 2) Send request for quote to venues, 3) Gather destination information and 4) Find meeting planning guides, resources & tools.  To search venues, start by selecting the city on MeetingsIn or any destination site, you wish to hold your meeting and then click "Get Venues".  Browse through search results and begin building your My List by selecting up to seven venues you wish to request a bid from.  Some venues will have detailed information accessible from the search results page.  These venues have a "Details" button beside their picture that you may click and view additional pictures and information about the venue.  

Once you're ready to submit your requests, click "Next Step" and you'll be prompted to confirm your details on the next page.  Here you may either remove a venue and send desired venues a request to bid called an RFP - Request for Proposal.  You will receive an automated response indicating your RFP has been delivered and then an e-mail indicating the venue is reviewing your bid.  The venues you've selected should respond back to you within 48 hours. Please let MeetingsIn know if for some reason you do not receive notification within this timeframe. You may do this through the "Contact Me" button on the site.

Once you've sent your bid requests, explore the other useful information on MeetingsIn such as any one of the many destination/city guide sites or Planner Tools section for useful information, check-lists and guides for planning a successful meeting.
