They wanted us to do live tech demos. Phocuswright actually wanted our presentations to be off-the-cuff and discouraged the use of PowerPoint & video. They wanted us to do live tech demos.

What underwhelmed me most was that many of the innovations that were presented, I had already seen in some form or another so there didn't seem to be anything really new. That's not true for all ofcourse. I was also a little disappointed with the casual nature of many of the presentations. I expected them to be punchy, fast-paced, and well rehearsed. Again, some but not all seemed like the presenter was just winging it. Interesting point Tamara, I hadn’t thought of that.

Know StarCite and other, but seems simple and more viral solution. Interesting move for the MICE market.

So the buyer browses the web and lands on a hotel's page, clicks thru to the SpeedRFP form (on the hotel's website or a CVB site, etc...), their information is filled out for them and then paste a previous RFP into the web form with a "Copy RFP" function. So RFPs are fed into the planner's account from any other SpeedRFP-enabled website.

Both of those tools (Sabre Hotel RFP, formerly BidStork and Corporate LanyonRFP)are centralized solutions for buyers to manage submit and submit bids to hotels.
