Here’s a refresher on ten meetingpages.com tools planners tell us they love:

1. Sticky Event Request Tool remains in constant view at the top of the browser. That makes for easier vendor requests and quicker navigation through the site.

2. SMERF Capability (Social, Military, Educational, Religious, and Fraternal) allows you to search by event type. That means our technology pairs you up with the best vendors for your event type, whether it’s a corporate retreat, a meeting of educators, or a banquet for military brass.
