Dundee & Angus Convention Bureau Team train on reg.istrations.com

Karen Tocher, Business Tourism Manager, of Dundee and Angus Convention Bureau was instrumental in the specification and development of Velvet Software's on-line delegate registration system, http://reg.istrations.com in 2007. Live in January 2008, Laura McGlashan at the Bureau has been using the system since it's launch. "It was great to visit the team again and to see how Laura's been using the system and to train the rest of the team", said Velvet's Tim Clark.

Following their success with an initial event through the system Karen wanted the whole team trained so that they are able to effectively promote and support their new on-line delegate registration system in addition to the existing accommodation booking and enquiry handling services that they currently offer.

Using reg.istration.com's integrated dashboard view, it's easy to get a graphical view of booking over a period of time automatically broken down by delegate type, package and revenue. Laura has already loaded a major European conference for 2009 that will be accepting registrations shortly - by the end of the training all four team members were not only able to manage bookings, but also create and configure complex multi-day events for themselves.

Dundee and Angus Convention Bureau have a well-established ambassador programme in addition to which they have strong links with the University of Dundee working with them on both academic events and external events hosted at the University.

Dundee's Tourist Information Centre and leisure tourism bas it at Discovery Point, home to the RSS Discovery. Pictured, Discovery has been restored and is key attraction in the City for visitors and local residents alike. "It's amazing, impressive and quite admirable to think that Captain Scott and his crew navigated to Antarctica and back in this very ship!", commented Velvet's Tim Clark. RSS Discovery may be hired as a venue for corporate events and private dinners in addition to serving as one of Dundee's major attractions.

We look forward to supporting the whole team in addition to the other destination clients who have adopted reg.istrations.com throughout the year in offering a professional, complete conference service to national and international event clients.
