ConventionPlanit® and CONFAB for Planners™ Announce Partnership Advancing Commission-Free Connections in the Meetings Industry

Hagerstown, Maryland. Februry 10, 2026.
 

Through a new partnership, ConventionPlanit® and CONFAB for Planners™ are extending a shared commitment built on trust and transparency. Together, the two organizations are aligning their business models to connect meeting planners and hospitality partners directly—without commissions, hidden fees, or impacts to negotiated rates.

Serving the meetings industry through complementary platforms—digital sourcing and live, curated networking—ConventionPlanit® and CONFAB for Planners™ offer planners and suppliers efficient, relationship-driven ways to discover opportunities, evaluate partners, and conduct business.

A Shared Commission-Free Approach—Online and In Person

ConventionPlanit® (conventionplanit.com) provides meeting planners with free, expert-assisted sourcing support while enabling suppliers to reach qualified buyers through fixed-fee marketing and advertising solutions. Its signature RFP Valet® service helps planners refine their meeting needs and distribute requests to selected suppliers, who respond directly—preserving transparency, rate integrity, and full control of the business relationship.

CONFAB for Planners™ (confabforplanners.com) extends this philosophy into the live-event environment through intimate, invitation-only showcases. CONFAB Supplier Partners provide planners with timely booking incentives without impacting standard rates.

By eliminating commissions across both sourcing and networking environments, the partnership reinforces a core principle: rates should reflect value—not distribution costs.
