“MDI has furnished comprehensive meetings research to its clients for years,” said MDI’s co-founder and Executive Vice President Colleen Swanson. “MeetingLists.com was a natural undertaking for us, as our clientele frequently asked for a resource that would allow them to search and find group meetings based on their own specs, on their own time and within their own budget.”

The do-it-yourself online service offers a new resource for promotional campaigns, booking pace issues, sales calls/blitzes, new hotel openings, low/shoulder season occupancy and other business objectives. Advanced scalability built into the platform allows purchases based upon a defined budget or number of profiles. And, with no long-term commitment or binding contract, clients can return to purchase data whenever their business dictates.

MDI will focus solely on providing its business intelligence software and consulting services to hotels, convention bureaus and destination partners. The firm has developed a proprietary approach to navigating big data that provides sales organizations with meaningful data to build better business plans.

“We’re thrilled to make this high quality, targeted data accessible to the hospitality community through MeetingLists.com,” John Enghauser, MDI’s CEO stated. “We believe that this will enable hospitality sales and marketing teams to lower their acquisition costs through this user-friendly portal. This service is designed to save an enormous amount of time and energy by delivering targeted meetings intel in a simple and speedy manner.”
