Powered by Zentila, Planners and Venues Unite Online Seamlessly
Sausalito, Jul 27, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - In a response to the new normal of planning brought on by COVID, today Smart Meetings officially announced the launch of their new Smart Sourcing Channel powered by Zentila.
While the channel's launch was sped up by recent conditions, it's inception has been a long-time project in the making.
"Smart Meetings prides itself on always being at the forefront of meeting our planners' needs in every capacity. We saw the unique opportunity with Zentila to bring planning into a virtual state and knew this would be a game-changer. Now with the Pandemic, it's an absolute necessity. We're happy to be able to provide these virtual tools and resources to keep planners thriving in their careers." said Marin Bright, CEO and Co-Founder of Smart Meetings.
Among these virtual tools is Aventri's Venue Connect. It's a free, easy-to-use online RFP resource that helps meeting planners quickly find great hotels for their events anywhere in the world.
Another virtual tool is Allseated which provides both planners and venues virtual tools and remote selling capabilities to book, plan and execute events.
Perfect for today's climate, Allseated's physical distancing tool gives clients confidence and the peace of mind they're seeking to design floorplans at venues that meet social distancing guidelines during this time. Planners also feel as if they are taking realistic tours with their 360-degree photorealistic virtual experiences of venues.
The third pillar of Smart Sourcing stems from a Smart Meetings core belief-knowledge. Planners can expect to receive the most updated information when it comes to destinations and venues to help them choose their next location for their upcoming events and meetings.
Virtual sourcing tools like VR Site inspections, 360-degree venue tours, online RFP uploading, and more are definitely here to stay and can all be found in Smart Meetings at the newly launched Smart Sourcing Channel.
