Everyone of my clients are trying to grow their meetings business. This is one way that is quite targetted and uses one of the fastest emerging trends for professionals right now is: Social Networking!
StarCite founder and industry veteran, John Pino recently launched an industry-specific social network: www.i-Meet.com which is one of the first social sites that combines the meetings and events community with a business overlay, allowing its planner and supplier members to interact freely, while adding value through the ability to find relevant information and build new business and personal relationships.
Now with over 5,000 members from more than 80 countries around the world along with 80,000 supplier listings in the database, i-Meet is a relevant business community and is growing rapidly. Unlike the mega social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Linkedin and Plaxo, ALL of their members are in the meetings and events industry!
