Best Events Launches Online Sourcing Tool for Event Industry
VenuesOnline.com offers access to over 5,000 event venues and 4,000 suppliers

NORWALK, CT, January 5, 2010 – Best Events Magazine, a unit of Red 7 Media, headquartered here, has launched a new online search tool for the special events and meetings industry. VenuesOnline.com is a comprehensive online website that provides event planners with access to more than 5,000 event facilities and other event resources.

VenuesOnline.com features photographs, video tours, floorplans, and detailed descriptions of thousands of event facilities across the U.S. and allows planners to find the venues that match their criteria. VenuesOnline.com features a range of venue types – including lofts, stadiums, museums, restaurants, nightclubs, conference centers and hotels. Planners can search based on location (city and neighborhood), type of venue, atmosphere, and a number of other criteria. The system also allows planners to screen and narrow their choices and then create and send a single meeting spec sheet to a shortlist of facilities.

In addition to the venue search tool, the site offers planners access to thousands of event services firms, from caterers to entertainment providers, décor, furniture rental and more, via a Best Events Sources search tool.

Best Events Magazine publishes magazines and resource directories in New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and California. The introduction of VenuesOnline.com follows the recent relaunch of the Best Events brand, which was formerly known as Agenda.

Best Events will promote VenuesOnline.com via its website (www.besteventsmag.com), as well as the websites of sister Red 7 Media websites, including those of Event Marketer, Event Design, EXPO, the Event Marketing Institute, and FOLIO Magazine, which together reach the largest audience of corporate and professional event planners in the U.S. The combined reach of Red 7 Media’s event publications is over 60,000, and aggregate web traffic exceeds 167,000 unique visitors, and 382,000 page views per month.
