Meetingsbooker.com, the global leader in simple meeting discovery, has reviewed its 2019 booking data to compile a report that details the key trends in the digitalization of venue sourcing. The findings from the research underline the rapid automation of this multi-billion dollar industry, from an offline transaction to a fast online solution.

The report provides a wide range of insights, designed to help both planners and corporate travel managers better understand this new emerging sector. Interestingly, the study highlights the wide variety of suppliers offering meeting space for hire online, with non-hotel venues such as co-working spaces gaining market share now receiving 51% of online transactions.

The report reveals how Meetingsbooker.com’s technology, which is now being used by many global corporations to track and measure simple meetings expenditure, delivers savings of 18% versus standard venue rates.

“It is very interesting to see how the market has developed since our last white paper report.
