Small-Meeting Technology Gets Big Upgrade

Hilton Hotels Corp. on March 15 relaunched its online booking tool for small meetings. In addition to a live inventory of room blocks, e-Events now allows planners to book meeting space, food and beverage, and audiovisual equipment at 2,300 North American properties. Blocks of five to 25 sleeping rooms can be booked using the tool, and the system dovetails with enhancements to the chain’s Guest List Manager tool for meeting planners.
