Weaver Multimedia Group Announces New Online Meeting Planning Tool
APRIL, 30 2010—DENVER, CO Weaver Multimedia Group announced the launch of a series of new interactive online meeting-planning tools today in select partner markets throughout North America. The Five-Minute Meeting Planner™, available at http://www.5-mmp.com/, allows meeting planners to research and compare meeting space, venues, accommodations and more – all in one web browser.
The Five-Minute Meeting Planner™ was designed for maximum efficiency. Nate Frick, Vice President of Interactive Strategy for Weaver, says, “The concept of the Five-Minute Meeting Planner™ originated from the many conversations we had with planners who expressed their desire to see functionality inherent to the web—such as search, integrated mapping and property comparisons—complement the research they already conducted with traditional printed materials. Our goal was to provide planners with a way to quickly determine which accommodations were a good match for their specific meeting needs, then utilize the strengths of the CVB sales team to vet and ultimately bring qualified meetings leads to local businesses.”
To use the tool, planners simply input event details and criteria into a focused search tool. The Five-Minute Meeting Planner™ quickly generates custom search results that match the planner’s criteria. From there, the user can compare listings side by side and use the mapping functionality.
The Five-Minute Meeting Planner™ complements the printed Meeting Planners Guides circulated in each market, enabling professional meeting planners to utilize integrated media platforms to do their job. Weaver Multimedia Group has devoted immense resources and effort to developing the tool and has launched an aggressive media plan targeted towards key meeting industry consortiums.
