conference, meeting or product launch the SCVB says planners
have to look no further than www.scvb.com.au, a free online
service providing special deals and value added offers to make
running events in Sydney or regional NSW a whole lot easier.
"Our `Hot Deals' website is the only site in Australia to
provide meeting or event planners with a detailed resource of
deals that will benefit the planner, saving them time and
money," says SCVB managing director, Jon Hutchison.
"In the nine months since its launch, the SCVB's innovative
online campaign,`Hot Deals' at www.scvb.com.au has recorded
more than 11,000 hits from busy meeting planners.
"The site is ideal for planners on the lookout for
competitive prices on venue facilities for product launches,
cocktail functions and meetings of all kinds, including team
building activities and audio visual equipment hire, to name a few."
He says the value of this service is compounded by the fact
that planners won't find a range of discounts and value added
deals anywhere else in Australia like those found on
www.scvb.com.au.
"Meeting and event planners will be amazed by the
extensive deals offered by many of Sydney's most reputable
venues, event planners, staging companies, hotels, convention
and exhibition service providers, attractions, harbour cruise and
other transport companies."
He said designing an internet portal providing special offers
and value added deals was in response to feedback received
from the increasing number of time and resource poor event
and meeting planners across Sydney.
"From this feedback we recognised January to March as an
ideal time to be offering a service of this nature. Planners are
booking venues for first quarter conferences, and researching
options over the peak planning periods from now to March
2003.
"The additional bonus is the site provides meeting planners
with a resource to research new ideas and information for
future meetings and events."
