HEY - that's 27 UK destinations using ConferenceBookings.co.uk

HEY - Hull & East Yorkshire Conferences are the latest UK destination to have Velvet's new allocation-driven on-line accommodation booking system ConferenceBookings.co.uk bringing the total number of UK destinations using the system to 27.

Launched in 2004, Velvet's industry leading on-line accommodation booking system was re-developed in 2007 as a completely new web 2.0 application utilising the latest web based technology and infrastructure.

"ConferenceBookings was always a great system, now it's even better!" says Velvet's Tim Clark. "The system makes a complex manual task into a simple, easy process going from basic event details to full on-line accommodation event web site in as little as 20 minutes".

The two days training were attended by Elaine Larney, Liz Neal, Claire Hill and Nicki Capes (pictured above). Liz and Claire have used Velvet Software's Chaser BUREAU system for many years and have provided valuable feedback via ChUG, the Chaser User Group. We welcome Elaine and Nicki as relatively new members to the HEY team and new Velvet system users.

The on-site two day training covered all aspects of the system including access by accommodation providers and external event organisers. ConferenceBookings has always allowed accommodation providers direct access to the system for the purpose of loading offers of allocation and downloading reports without having to contact bureau staff directly. Most recently, a new feature has been added that allows restricted access to specific events for external users such as event organising clients.

HEY Conferences may be contacted via their web site or directly by telephone on +44(0) 148 248 6500.
