World-first meeting planners’ platform launches in Sydney

Simone Seiler, General Manager, cimeetings
cievents launched their game-changing online booking platform, cimeetings, to a captivated local events industry last week at elegant new Barangaroo venue, 12-Micron.

cimeetings is revolutionising the corporate events planning industry, allowing events planners to instantaneously book an entire event with a simple click.

cimeetings is a live corporate meetings management platform – a solution to streamline the meetings planning process – offering live reporting capabilities, budget transparency and saving significant time for planners and procurement managers alike.

Coinciding with Global Meetings Industry Day, almost 150 gathered for an update on trends in the meetings and event industry and experience a live demonstration of the cimeetings platform, witnessing first-hand the role it will play in leading strategic meetings management in the Australian market.

cimeetings offers event planners the opportunity to review hotel and meeting venue options including date availability, location, room capacity, room configurations, food and beverage packages and audio-visual facilities, all in real-time.

An exclusive partnership sees the Australian Venue Co. Group’s national portfolio of restaurants, bars and dedicated event spaces featured on the platform – perfectly represented through the stunning venue choice for the launch.

The evening included specially-crafted cocktails and canapes by the team at 12-Micron along with a presentation by cimeetings’ General Manager, Simone Seiler, on upcoming trends in the meetings industry, and a live demonstration by cievents’ General Manager – Sales & Operations, Guy Fisher.

Simone Seiler told attendees,

“A live marketplace will drive significant productivity gains, streamlining all components of venue sourcing, complemented with real-time reporting and financial visibility and management. This leaves more time for event professionals to generate that sought-after ‘return on experience’.”

cimeetings’ unique solution can search and secure event venues and suppliers, compare prices and enable bookings all in the one place. All booking requests are processed instantly with the option to conveniently pay later. This ingenious platform is available to anyone looking to book meeting space at no charge.

Live, detailed reporting is readily available on all bookings, driving immediate benefits for busy procurement managers, all on one secure platform. The live functionality is a world-first, and not currently commercially available on any other platform.
