Hi, we are Meetingselect
Meet the founders
Back in 2007, founders Anouk Roohé and Judith Huisman were both working for international hotel chains and meeting venues in the hospitality industry. After years in the industry, they recognized the need for a more efficient system to book and manage meetings. Together with Venture Capital, they continue to build towards their dream to offer all stakeholders digital solutions that hit the mark.
The heart of Meetingselect
Meetingselect is a female-founded and WeConnect-certified company. As an award-winning and globally recognized MICE leader, we're redefining the industry’s future.
By developing an all-in-one meeting management platform and venue marketplace, we’ve transformed the way you book and manage meetings, group bookings, and workspaces. Both bookers and venues are empowered with smooth meeting automation tools, access to ample data, savings, and insights. Our cutting-edge features ensure a clear, sustainable, and swift booking experience. With Meetingselect, every action is streamlined, every decision is informed, and every meeting is an advancement towards your business goals.
Our values
Meetingselect is built on values that matter, combining genuine care with professional expertise. We stand for authenticity in every fair, sustainable, and inclusive practice we undertake, making every meeting count.
Connectivity: Via our connective technology we connect diverse people with our unique venues around the globe.
Simplicity: We create easy, convenient and efficient business solutions to simplify (business) life.
Growth: We create business, knowledge, insights & yourself.
Guidance: We strive to be your guiding partner – a valued colleague, trusted advisor and ambitious industry challenger.
Sincerity: We advocate for fair, sustainable and inclusive business practices, as well as open and trusted cooperation to create value for all our stakeholders involved.
Sustainability and community well-being
Sustainability is at our core. Embracing eco-innovation with impactful programs like Meetings for Trees and our partnership with CONVIEN, we actively reduce the carbon impact of meetings and events worldwide. Our platform's intelligent algorithms empower bookers with the ability to measure - and ultimately minimize - their environmental footprint with each event.
Moreover, prioritizing the well-being of our community, we offer a 24/7 Duty of Care dashboard since 2010. With real-time support in critical situations, from health crises to unexpected cancellations, you can trust your employees and attendees to be safe.
Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has earned us the Ecovadis Silver Certification since 2015, a testament to our sustained efforts in ethical and responsible business practices.
