Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide has teamed up with Cvent and PSAV to offer CrowdCompass mobile apps to planners booking meetings and events at its properties worldwide.
“With the option of having a customisable app with CrowdCompass, attendees can go paperless and view real-time content like event agendas, speaker bios, presentations and property information from their mobile devices.” said Jonathan Kaplan, Starwood’s director of sales, new business and digital programming.
“Meeting attendees also may be able to use the app to create personalised schedules, share contact information with other attendees, connect with others via social media and receive push message communications instantly from on site meeting planners.”
Today’s launch comes on the heels of Starwood’s ProMeetings app, which allows meetings planners who are SPG or SPG Pro members to submit on-property requests – from an extension cord, coffee service, a change in lighting and everything in between – directly to associates who can fulfill requests in real time. The full app, which is expected to roll out in 2016, is currently in pilot at several Starwood hotels around the world, including W Singapore - Sentosa Cove, The Westin Singapore, Sheraton Atlanta Airport, W Atlanta Midtown, and The Westin Charlotte.
