SMART MEETINGS MAGAZINE LAUNCHES MEETING INDUSTRY'S FIRST WEB 2.0 SITE
smartmeetings.com provides planners with cutting-edge interactivity
/Publications PR News/ - SAUSALITO, CA, May 18, 2008 - Smart Meetings magazine, the premier travel trade publication, has launched a newly redesigned website (smartmeetings.com) to make life easier for meeting planners throughout the U.S. and Canada.
"We've taken our web presence to a new level by creating a site that blends up-to-the-minute online technology with a wealth of indispensable information," says Marin Bright, founder and publisher of Smart Meetings. "Far from being just a standard magazine site, smartmeetings.com is an interactive community completely dedicated to helping planners organize the perfect event."
The site's Smart Cart option is key, providing "one-stop-shopping" that allows planners to search lodgings and venues by location, meeting space and other criteria. Planners can then send a real-time information request directly to any properties they've selected with a simple click of their mouse.
Visitors to the free site can also read hotel reviews from other planners, write their own reviews and even win free travel products and trips. Smart Meetings' status as a top-tier meeting travel publication is reflected in the site's extensive offering of informational destination and feature articles—each entirely focused for meeting professionals.
"Whether planning an executive retreat for six in Alaska or a company gathering of 500 in Albuquerque, meeting planners can find all they need and more at our new site," Bright adds. "We couldn't be more excited about what this means for the meeting planners of today."
Owned and operated by Bright Business Media, LLC, Smart Meetings magazine is distributed monthly to more than 31,000 top corporate and association meeting and business professionals. Edited for meeting professionals, it offers industry news and columns, including trends in food and beverage, health and wellness, and technology. It also highlights destinations, hotels and resorts, as well as new convention and conference centers in the Western Region. Additionally, Smart Meetings addresses operational issues such as managing budgets, return on investment and meetings marketing.
