What Meeting Planners say about using meetingpath!

James Hansen, Special Events Coordinator, FAST in Needham, MA said: “With the help of the Greater Boston CVB’s meetingpath.com website, I received many great proposals and one that met all of our needs.... It was such a pleasure dealing with meetingpath.com and I am already planning to use this resource in the near future."

Melanie Evans House, Senior Account Manager, Travizon Meeting & Incentive Management, "I've lived in the Boston area for 15 years, most of my events are outside of Boston. So when a client comes to me and asks if I can plan an event in my backyard, I'm usually stuck!  So far, meetingpath has been a great resource for me."

Wendy Aaronson, MPH, Project Coordinator, Massachusetts General Hospital, "Meetingpath was very helpful for finding an appropriate venue.  I found it a valuable time-saving tool, as I was able to obtain proposals from many sites with one quick posting.  This was much more efficient than making twenty phone calls.  I will absolutely use this resource in the future."

Mindy Sanderson, Assistant Director, Management Education, for Zweig White in Natick MA said "Meetingpath definitely made my RFP process so easy!  It's a wonderful tool!  I will DEFINITELY be using it again for my next meeting in Boston!!!!"

Irene Von Toussaint, Project Manager Sales, North America, Lufthansa, East Meadow, NY said "The site made our RFP process a complete breeze.  We love it at Lufthansa and we intend to use it every chance we get!"

Julia Goldberg, Marketing and Programs Director for Massachusetts Technology Transfer Center at UMass in Boston said  “I would like to thank you again for the meetingpath help. We just signed our second contract using meetingpath (with Marriott Newton for the December 5th, 2005 Nanotech Conference). I had already marked the RFP as definite and hope to use meetingpath in the future.”

 
Cynthia Montello, District Sales Manager, Duramed Pharmaceuticals from East Kingston, NH "I can tell you that Meeting path is a lifesaver! Every time we have a meeting I call what seems like 100 hotels to get RFPs and then I have to call 99 of them back saying "thanks, maybe next time". This saved me SO much time and energy, I can't begin to tell you the lost productivity it got back for me. Plus, it introduced me to hotels I never even considered before that are now on my radar for future meetings. I wish I had found this site years ago! Thanks for your service, please don't EVER go away!"
 
Terrie Holahan, Tradeshow & Event Coordinator for AtriCure, Inc. in West Chester, OH "I liked the meetingpath experience and will definitely use the site again for the next event we have in the New England area."
 
Shauna McMunn, Director of Operations for the American Strategic Management Institute in San Diego CA - “I appreciate how easy your service made the whole process for me, and will definitely use your service again next time our Conference is in Boston!”
 
Carolyn Harrison, Executive Assistant Fortegra, Inc. Lynchburg, VA  "Meetingpath was a big help when I started looking for the information that I needed.  It made things much easier for me in the long run.  I wish all states had that idea."

Julia Goldberg, Marketing and Programs Director for Massachusetts Technology Transfer Center at UMass in Boston said "I’m very pleased with meetingpath - I was working with the program to find venues for our upcoming event and we plan to sign a contract with a hotel I found through the site." 

“Julie Ferguson, VP Finance and Administration, The Ayn Rand Institute in Irvine, CA "I was absolutely delighted with the results I received from placing my RFP on the meetingpath website and appreciate this service and the assistance I received”. 

Pamela J. Madison, Sr. Business Analyst, PFPC in Westboro, MA, "The great feature about meetingpath is that it gets out the requirements for meetings and events to a large group without me having to speak or send it to large group - I only need to send it out once. I love the meetingpath tool because it really makes my job so much easier."

Sarah Brucker, Office Manager for PCi in Boston, "I love using meetingpath.  It makes searching for venues so much easier.  There are a bunch of places I would never think to have an event that I end up requesting information from because I see them on meetingpath."

Ms. E. Gail Barron, Exec Director, National Flea Market Association, "I found Meetingpath to be a very efficient use of my time.  I used two Bureaus recently for a resort meeting in Florida and while they were most helpful and did produce appropriate proposals from numerous properties, the Meetingpath system was a far superior way to get an organized response. "

 
Dr. Raquelle Mesholam from Harvard Medical School, a recent Meetingpath Rewards Winner, said "using meetingpath was EXTREMELY helpful for me in choosing a hotel that had a block of rooms meeting all conditions needed for all my wedding guests.  I definitely appreciate the meetingpath service!"
 
Sharon Curry, President of Communitech, Yorktown Heights, New York recently used meetingpath.com and had this to share: "I sent RFPs to four potential reception venues for a conference we are holding in May 2005. All four have responded and I am setting up site visits with all of them. This service is really excellent. Thank you for offering it. We will use it again and again."
Christie George, Conference Manager for Tendsmedia in Northboro, Massachusetts, won the December GIFT BASKET from Ruma’s! Christie said "I found the meetingpath site very easy to use and the feedback I received on my RFP was very timely and professional."
Congratulations! Sarah Brucker, Office Manager for PCi in Boston Massachusetts, won the January GIFT BASKET from Ruma’s! With regard to using meetingpath, Sarah told us:"This was my first experience using meetingpath, and as someone relatively new to event planning in Boston, it helped me tremendously to reach potential venues I didn’t even know existed. Sending out one RFP gave me a number of viable venues to choose from. This definitely won’t be the last time I use meetingpath!"
 
Congratulations to our 1st quarter meetingpath sweepstakes winner, Faye Camardo from Tellus Institute in Boston. With regard to using meetingpath.com Faye told us: “Meetingpath.com was suggested to me by a former employee who has done a great deal of meeting planning, and this was the first time I had used it. I was extremely pleased with the response and will certainly use it in the future. It really simplified the reservation process and made my job so much easier.”
 
Congratulations!  Erica Ames, Marketing Coordinator for William Gallagher Associates in Boston Massachusetts , won the December GIFT BASKET from Ruma’s!  With regard to using meetingpath, Erica told us: “meetingpath has made my planning so much easier! I usually find myself trying to find and book hotel space for multiple insurance seminars at different times, and meetingpath has made it so easy to have hotels contact me, instead of cold calling multiple hotels. I've successfully booked three seminars in the last week using meetingpath and I wouldn't think to book space without it!”
 
Congratulations to our 4th quarter meetingpath sweepstakes winner, Ellen Walker from E Events in Boston.  With regard to using meetingpath.com Ellen told us: “I was pleasantly overwhelmed with the response I received to my RFPs.  One of the requests I was certain would not generate much interest due to an extremely low budget surprised me with some very viable opportunities.  I look forward to using the system for all my Boston-area based needs.”
 
Pat Kovalesky, Secretary at RJP Enterprises, Inc., who recently used our meetingpath.com web site to submit her meeting requirements, shared the following feedback with us:  “The biggest positive impact meetingpath had on me was that the responses were so immediate while I was still waiting for other cities to get back to me – this lag was several days actually. Plus, the listing of all the hotels that the request went to (printable) was a big bonus and made my tracking of responses so much easier.  Meetingpath is a great system – spread it around!  If you need assistance selling the program to other cities, RJP Enterprises is a happy customer and willing to help.” 
 
Congratulations to our 3rd quarter meetingpath sweepstakes winner, Pamela Madison, Senior Business Analyst for PFPC in Westboro, MA. Pamela tells us: “I spend a lot of time planning meetings and I happened to find the meetingpath.com web site so I decided to give it a try.  I couldn’t believe how much time and effort I saved by using this system.  I received a great response from a lot of different properties and it probably saved me two days worth of phone calls.  I would use this site again in a minute.”
