Additional accomodation. Meetings and events agency MCI announced a new collaboration with Expedia Affiliate Network (EAN). In the course of this collaboration, EAN will provide additional accomodation for people attending MCI-organized events in locations with a lack of availability or high levels of market compression during peak times.
“EAN’s innovative service will be seamlessly integrated into MCI’s registration and housing technology, allowing for a frictionless single booking and payment process for over 350,000 conference delegates annually,” Richard Torriani, MCI Group Global Vice President Congress Management, said.
MCI Group CEO Sebastien Tondeur adds: “We are not replacing our valued relationships with partner hotels and contracted room blocks – we are complementing them. Our partnership with Expedia Affiliate Network adds a whole new layer of possibilities for clients who would like to grow attendance at their events and congresses, but who are currently limited by a lack of traditional accommodation for attendees.”
