What To Expect In 2024:
If you havenât made a free account or logged in recently at offsite.com, you definitely should!!! Weâve come a *long* way product-wiseâŠ
Some of the major product improvements we shipped this year include:
adding hundreds of curated venue options around the world
improved filtering (like Airbnb) to search by city, region, brand name (ie AutoCamp, Hilton, Hyatt), group size, and budget
automated requests sent directly to hotels and other vendors
auto-suggested venues (this is a GAME CHANGER)
one click proposals for venues to reply to your requests faster
speakers, facilitators, and travel partners are now all available in the marketplace as well
Weâre redesigning many of the profiles as we speak to add even more information about our venues, plus weâre making it easier to filter through the new vendor types (right now itâs a tad difficult, but heyâŠgotta start somewhere!).
While I canât give away our whole product roadmap here, in shortâŠ
Our curated marketplace (today) makes it easy to send requests to exceptional offsite venues within minutes and ultimately save 20%+ on hotel room blocks, meeting space, activities, and more.
In 2024, weâre going to continue saving you time, money, and stress however we can, removing any friction possible when using our software.
If you have any product feedback, ideas, or requestsâŠplease reply and let me know đ
If I donât hear from you this week, Happy New Year!!!
Cheers to making 2024 exceptional.
We appreciate you.

Founder/CEO of Offsite
