MeetingSource.com is launching a new meeting resources and suppliers directory to put meeting planners in touch with everything from speakers to trade show products to transportation.

For ten years, MeetingSource.com has specialized in meeting facilities and site selection; the Meeting Resources directory will allow its 11,000 registered meeting planner users as well members of the search community find additional resources for their meetings and conventions.

“MeetingSource.com has been successful aiding planners with site selection for more than a decade,” said John Horchner, publisher. “Adding a meeting suppliers directory is a natural extension.”

Since trust is the most important factor in choosing suppliers, MeetingSource.com plans to have a member of its staff review all supplier listings prior to publication and verify the content of each listing.

 “Human editing and interaction is what allowed MeetingSource.com to develop its 8000 strong marketplace of meeting facilities and destinations; we plan on doing the same thing for meeting suppliers,” Horchner added.

URLs and hyperlinks to the supplier’s website allow meeting planners to click directly to a supplier’s website.

“Anyone can submit a listing and we encourage all meeting and convention suppliers to do so.”

To start, meeting resources will be showcased in resource categories including Audio Visual, Destination Management, Meeting Planners, Event Planners, Meeting Technology, Promotional Products, Speakers, Trade Show Products and Services, Transportation and Travel.
