Member Testimonials
"We just received a commitment for a city-wide convention that was a direct result of our presence on ConventionPlanit.com. The great thing about ConventionPlanit.com is the personalized follow-up they provide to both planners and suppliers when leads come in through their site. It is a great help to our sales process to know that our leads are getting the attention they deserve and that we have a fair opportunity to bid on truly qualified business."

Our team likes that this search directory not only helps to create awareness of our brand, but stimulates new prospects, many of which are now repeat customers. We especially like the commission-free model of placing buyers and sellers together without wedging a third party in the middle."

"Online direct marketing has really come of age with the ConventionPlanit.com e-blast service. We used it to reach their database of 30,000 meeting professionals and generated a very strong ROI. They have a strong product and an excellent reputation with their customers to generate this type of results."
Pat Flynn, Executive Director Hotel Operations and Sales
Peppermill Resort Spa Casino
"There are many online advertising opportunities available today and finding those that fit both marketing needs and tighter budgets has been challenging. A few years ago, when we first joined Convention Planit, I knew that it fit in our budget, but required proof regarding the effectiveness of the site. I am now certain of both. We get qualified leads, good exposure, and a level of personal service rarely found in web based companies. I highly recommend this site and the services provided to those CVB's who are serious about getting meeting and convention business for their communities."
Julie Dodds, Director of Convention Sales
Anchorage Convention & Visitors Bureau
“The reason we've chosen to include ConventionPlanit.com in our online strategy is their excellent customer service; walking that fine line by doing what's right both for the planner and also for us as a vendor of international Destination Management Companies. The ConventionPlanit.com team follows through and follows up - adding the personal touch that distinguishes them and sets them miles apart from hundreds of other online directories. We want to be where they're committed to going - and that's to the heart of the needs of today's planners.”
Jane E. Schuldt, CITE World Marketing Group
Minneapolis, Minnesota
"When it comes to booking new meetings, it’s all about qualified leads. That’s what I get from ConventionPlanit.com. Their leads have generated a number of new meetings for me, and I highly recommend them."
Bill Light, MBA, CMP, Director of Sales
Associated Luxury Hotels
"We receive very qualified leads through ConventionPlanit.com for both the national association and corporate market segments. As a result, we recently upgraded our presence to a Diamond Listing, so our property will appear at the top of the search results for San Diego. I think the success of the site is due in large part to the fact that it was designed with the creative input of leading meeting professionals who will only use commission-free online search directories."
Kelly Commerford, CHME, Director of Marketing
Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego
"An extremely valuable opportunity. We encourage our members to gain exposure to their customer markets."
