What is being bought

Published requirement description

Across our sites we host approximately 700 events every year and these events can range from daytime conferencing to award ceremonies, formal dinners, VIP events and product launches. It is therefore important that the system can support the range of events that we host for clients across our venues.

The Diary Event Management System needs to be a specific software solution with a specific focus on Sales and Operations in our sector but can also assist with marketing, management information and reporting.
