22 May Travel Leaders Corporate Offers New Tool for Optimizing Simple Meetings

The Simple Meetings Optimizer tool provides a sophisticated “virtual meeting planner” to quickly and easily assist anyone planning a business meeting independently

Plymouth, MN (May 22, 2017) – Planning meetings without a professional meeting planner happens all the time in the corporate world – and it is a pain point for many individuals. Questions arise on budgets and spending, meetings space and transportation, as well as food and beverage. To meet the needs of businesses in every arena and of any size, Travel Leaders Corporate has officially unveiled its new Simple Meetings Optimizer tool. The Simple Meetings Optimizer gives companies an easy and intuitive way to arrange any size of meeting, and it complements Travel Leaders Corporate’s Small Business Travel Program and its Spend & Savings Analysis tool.

“When a company has a large conference planned, it makes sense to hire a full service, meetings management company. What becomes more difficult is when there is a smaller meeting to arrange, which happens very frequently,” explained Gabe Rizzi, President of Travel Leaders Corporate. “Even within a larger company, this might fall to someone who isn’t a meeting planner and is pressed for time. In small businesses where employees need to wear many hats, anyone from the CEO to the receptionist could have responsibility for coordinating small meetings, and a lot of time and money is wasted pulling these together. Travel Leaders Corporate’s new Simple Meetings Optimizer tool easily guides these individuals in arranging quality small meetings, quickly, so they can get back to their role’s primary responsibilities.”

Designed to be used by non-meeting planners and meeting professionals, Travel Leaders Corporate’s Simple Meetings Optimizer is built for anyone who needs to arrange details for a smaller meeting or event. In just a few minutes, a user can arrange lodging, transportation, food and beverage, and send out schedules. The Simple Meetings Optimizer provides users with:

• A range of options specific to the desired location and budget including: hotel rooms, meeting spaces, food, beverage, and audiovisual needs.
• A way to track spending and ensure the meeting is within budget and meets the company’s expectations.
• A custom website, within 15 minutes, to be sent to attendees. From there, attendees can arrange their own transportation and lodging, as offered on the website, while the organizer easily tracks attendance on their dashboard.

In addition, because business travelers are on the go, the Simple Meetings Optimizer tool has a sophisticated mobile site that doubles as an app, with check-in, texting and chat available for organizers and attendees.

“Our goal is to provide the tools to support businesses that need to plan smaller meetings with the same impact as larger ones, based on our expertise in strategic meetings management,” Rizzi commented. “The Simple Meetings Optimizer tool will provide new, easy and seamlessly integrated options for companies to ensure that they can turn any size meeting, conference or event into the professional, smooth experience they need it to be.”
