Meetings that matter. Search, book, and pay in one seamless flow.

With this native integration, Meetingselect serves as the embedded venue sourcing and selection layer within Stova, expanding the platform’s capabilities while keeping the experience seamless for planners and venues. Together, the solution streamlines venue discovery, contracting, and event execution, empowering organizers to manage the entire event lifecycle more efficiently within a single, connected platform.

“Meetings and event professionals are looking for greater efficiency and simplicity across the entire event lifecycle,” said Anupam Palit, CEO at Stova. “Meetingselect stands out for its global venue coverage and ability to deliver a seamless sourcing, booking, and payment experience. By integrating these capabilities directly into the Stova platform, we are enabling planners to move from discovery to booking and payment in one unified workflow.”

“At Meetingselect, our mission is to simplify how meetings and events are sourced and selected,” said Judith Huisman, Founder & Chief Product Officer at Meetingselect. “Integrating our platform within Stova allows planners to access a broad global venue marketplace, while simultaneously unlocking a large and active group of meetings & events organizers for our venue partners. Together, we are helping the entire venue ecosystem reduce complexity, increase transparency, and deliver meetings that matter.”

Expanding Venue Access and Efficiency

The integration provides Stova users with access to Meetingselect’s global venue marketplace, which includes more than 500,000 hotels, dedicated meeting venues, and unique event spaces worldwide. This expanded venue coverage allows planners to discover relevant options more quickly while increasing demand visibility for venues.

Meetingselect enriches venue listings with structured, comparable data that improves search accuracy and decision-making. Planners can evaluate options more efficiently, while venues receive clearer and more qualified requests.

Smarter Sourcing and Cost Visibility

The integration also introduces improved cost visibility during the early stages of planning. By leveraging historical and trending venue pricing data, planners can develop more accurate budgets and forecast meeting spend with greater confidence.

Standardized sourcing workflows further streamline the venue response and bidding process, reducing manual effort for both planners and venues while accelerating response times and simplifying proposal comparisons.

By automating high-volume and transactional elements of venue sourcing and booking, the integration enables organizations to scale their meeting and event programs without increasing operational overhead. Planners benefit from a unified workflow that accelerates venue sourcing and simplifies comparisons, while venues gain access to qualified demand through structured requests that streamline response and booking processes.
