Take full control of the entire venue sourcing process for any sized event – all with free-to-use software. You can customize your account to prioritize preferred suppliers, send RFPs to multiple venues at once, compare venues’ responses side-by-side, and run reports to track historical meeting spend in a fully localized platform.

With the ability to search over 290,000 venues, you’re able to discover new properties in different destinations to find an event venue that aligns with your event requirements. You can enter your criteria and filter results, including number of guest rooms or total meeting space, to find venue profiles that fit your needs.

Visit each profile and get property details upfront to make more informed decisions – ultimately, making the sourcing process much faster and more accurate than traditional search methods.

To make your venue search even more robust, take advantage of photo-realistic technology that allows you to view 3D floorplans of hundreds of venues. From outdoor beaches to grand ballrooms or unique and intimate spaces, you can easily check out a venue’s profile, view their 3D floorplans, and even send RFPs when you’ve found venues of interest.

We know event planners are extremely detail-oriented. You want to see the ins and outs of your event space to know what’s possible to work with, and traveling to the venue isn’t always possible due to resourcing, budget, or time constraints.

By sourcing your venue with the help of a photo-realistic 3D event space tool, you can be assured your needs will be met by visualizing prospective event spaces in 3D. With the right tool at your disposal, you can envision the space with predefined property layouts, including max capacity information for individual rooms based on different setups, from banquet rounds to classroom tables, or even theater style setups.

In today’s digital age, there is a virtual universe right at your fingertips. Thanks to advancements like the photo-realistic microsite, event planners can visualize their next event from anywhere in the world without needing to physically be at the event space.
