venuedirectory.com and MeetingPackage announce integration partnership
London, England – 26th June 2019
venuedirectory.com and MeetingPackage today announced a new partnership and the start of development to integrate venuedirectory.com's marketplace of meetings bookers, Hotel Booking Agents & Travel Management Companies, with MeetingPackage's venue software.
Commenting on the partnership, Michael Begley, Managing Director of venuedirectory.com said, "This integration is great news for all Opera Sales & Catering venues. Meeting requests from our agency partners will be delivered straight into Opera allowing for faster response times, better enquiry tracking and reporting for venues and ultimately improved conversion rates. The integration will also allow seamless delivery of small meetings through our Live Availability portal".
Joonas Ahola, MeetingPackage CEO, commented, “We are really excited by this new agreement with the UK’s leading online directory for Meetings and Events. We think this agreement is going to massively improve the experience of booking small meetings for users of venuedirectory.com. The deal is also going to create massive efficiencies for our hotel and venue clients who will be able to dramatically reduce the time spent responding to and dealing with Meetings RFPs.”
