Paul Cook, managing director of Clarity Event Insurance and last year’s chairman of MPI UK has launched www.planetplanit.biz
www.planetplanit.biz is an online resource for the events industry, focused on the provision of education hints, tips and information. It already includes a wide variety of information and insight from contributors across the international events industry and in time Mr Cook expects it to be the industry’s number one knowledge base.
The company and website was launched last week at an event hosted by the Barbican, a keen supporter of www.planetplanit.biz
www.planetplanit.biz, managing director, Paul Cook: “During my career in the industry I have seen so many people offer great advice to others, only to have that advice used just once by the recipient. A site like this ensures great ideas are recycled and made available to everyone helping us all learn from each other and get the most out of our industry relationships and knowledge. The launch party was a great success and I was overwhelmed by the support showed by those who attended.”
Barbican, head of corporate sales, Anthony Hyde : “As a ground breaking creative arts and events space we are always keen to support revolutionary ideas and new initiatives that we believe will truly make a difference. Hosting the launch of www.planetplanit.biz was just such an occasion and we look forward to seeing the site go from strength to strength.”
Several other comments from industry commentators and leaders included:
University of Westminster’s , Rob Davidson: “www.planetplanit.biz has the potential to be a valuable new source of much–needed information and advice. It will be particularly welcomed by those starting off on their careers as meeting planners.”
Real Recruitment, senior consultant, Hannah Rousell: “What a fantastic evening! Planet Planit certainly looks like its set to become the “Events Bible” for everyone in the industry. With the driving force of Paul Cook behind it, it is bound for success – it’s jam-packed with useful information and refreshingly user-friendly! An invaluable resource created by real professionals for professionals.”
GIBTM & CIBTM, Marketing Manager, Katie Devaney: “This is just what the events industry needs; with such great support behind it I am sure that www.planetplanit.biz will soon become an invaluable tool for meeting planners. Thanks to Paul Cook and the Barbican for a great networking event on an otherwise cold and rainy London night.”
