We spent the first two months of 2015 in discussions with your target market – MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions) planners.
The result? Our editors, marketers, developers and industry experts are about to relaunch SA Conference as The Planner online tool and The Meetings & Event Planner handbook.
We used the feedback from all levels of event planners as the blueprint for these tools, focused around planners’ needs and preferences.
The new online tool is devised to incentivise event planners to use your venues or services as they interactively plan their event from within the online tool. It gives event organisers a way to:
• Create an event online and save your information on their customisable dashboard.
• Send you quote requests from within their dashboard as they create their events.
So if your venue or service is part of The Planner tool, and therefore available to event organisers planning their events, you’ll get their business.
The Planner is poised to become the online tool that the market uses as a standard when creating events.
The Meetings & Event Planner is the handbook that works in conjunction with the online tool.
What’s different about The Meetings & Event Planner?
• It is a handbook that assists event organisers in planning their entire event from A to Z.
• It provides essential information on venues and service providers available in each geographical location, including whether they are PCO friendly.
• It provides all other relevant information for that location, including flight options, car hire, accommodation at other venues, restaurants, places to visit, and things to do.
• It helps prompt event organisers to plan trips in your region because it gives them access to all the information they need.
We value your business. So we’re delighted to be able to offer you profiles, branded content, display advertisements and banner advertising opportunities in The Planner online tool and The Meetings & Event Planner for 2016 at lower-than-2015 rates. It is uncertain how long we’ll keep these prices running so we urge you to take advantage and book today.
