In a significant leap forward for the Meetings & Events (M&E) sector, MeetingPackage, a global player in booking software, has announced its integration with Venue Directory to enable ‘Instant Book’ functionality. This innovative feature brings real-time pricing, immediate confirmations, and seamless booking experiences to clients and agencies sourcing venues through the platform.
The integration, which also extends to the new GRATIS channel, is set to revolutionise how UK venues handle bookings. For the first time, venues can offer instant bookings for small and medium-sized meeting room inventories directly on Venue Directory, as well as on other platforms like Cvent and even their own websites.
A Game-Changer for Meetings & Events
The traditional Request for Proposal (RFP) process, often seen as cumbersome and time-consuming, is now a thing of the past. With MeetingPackage’s system, venues can provide clients with confirmed bookings instantly-offering a user experience as effortless as booking a hotel room.
Dynamic pricing further enhances the experience, allowing venues to display real-time prices. This feature streamlines affordability checks, reduces inquiries, and saves time for both venues and clients.
A Streamlined Setup
For venues looking to get started, the process couldn’t be simpler. MeetingPackage’s Customer Success team assists with setting up a basic API connection, ensuring a seamless transition. A demo environment is used to verify functionality before going live, making the integration as smooth as possible.
