Alanta's Cobb County CVB Selects Meetingmax
Online housing reservation system to help deliver southern hospitality.
Vancouver, BC; November 10, 2009– Meetingmax, provider of the travel industry’s
most flexible and cost-effective online housing reservation system, today announced the
signing of an agreement with Cobb County Convention & Visitors Bureau. Through the
agreement, Cobb County will use Meetingmax’s system to manage convention housing
bookings for more than 13,500 rooms in 120 hotels.
"In today's market, meeting planners need reliable housing management and accurate
pick-up reports for their events," says Abbey Harwell, Communications & Marketing
Technology Manager, Cobb County Convention & Visitors Bureau. "We were impressed
by Meetingmax’s secure, 24/7 access to online inventory, room block management
tools, and useful reports."
Located just 10 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta, Cobb County is a destination for
conventions and trade shows. With 80% of the U.S. population within a two-hour flight,
Atlanta is accessible via direct service from most destinations.
As part of its selection process, Cobb County CVB looked at several other housing
systems. The organization primarily selected Meetingmax based on its user-friendly
software interface.
"Meetingmax’s software simplifies the reservation process for attendees and decreases
reporting time for planners,” continues Harwell. “Users get an instant confirmation when
making, changing or canceling their reservations. This will add up to better hotel
bookings and happier attendees."
"One of Cobb County’s differentiators is its southern hospitality," says Jeff Duncan,
COO, Meetingmax Systems. "We are proud that our system has been selected to play a
key role in facilitating first impressions with their guests."
Using Meetingmax’s system, delegates can quickly search for a participating hotel,
explore its features and book a room. Hotels can efficiently search, process,
summarize, and report on all rooms and reservations for each delegate group. CVBs
use the Master Control Panel to easily create an event, assign hotels, set rates and
manage inventory.
