This potential is true for a variety of businesses, ranging from financial services companies and advertising agencies to, you guessed it, corporate meeting and event planners. Flash back 10 years ago, and the concept of real-time action was far different than it is today. Real-time action consisted of an assistant calling your office phone or canvassing the show floor to hunt you down and tell you the slide projector was not working or that the keynote speaker was missing. The same theme extended to show attendees, who were at the mercy of long check-in lines and dated in-room technologies that made staying in the loopwhile out of the office very challenging. http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4033789.html http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4033789.html Thu, 15 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0200 QUINCY, Mass | Passkey, the worldwide leader in online group reservations, today announced the launch of RoomList Express™, the world's first fully automated and 100% secure room list tool for hotels and meetings.
