LEARNER OBJECTIVES:

In this session, you will:
  • Identify how to conduct virtual site inspections using free on-line databases, scalable floor plans, 360° views, virtual reality, steaming video and more – in a manner that is much richer and more current than paper facility guides brochures could ever provide.
  • Compare examples of the basic, bottom-line information that every hotel site should contain to make it meeting planner friendly.
  • Discuss the variety of "Hot-Date/Hot Rate" sites where great short-term deals can be found and see the relative strengths and weaknesses among them.
  • Contrast on-line floor plans that can be used for automated room diagramming.
  • Identify how to conduct an on-line RFP (request for proposal) in a way that is vastly more efficient that traditional paper-based means of doing so.
  • Peek into the future on how meeting industry web sites can be used for mass customization and more
