International Gravity Sports Association Rolls With Meetingmax


We are very excited to announce our partnership with the International Gravity Sports Association (IGSA), world leaders in skateboard and street luge racing!

Through the agreement, we will contract and manage hotel room blocks for 11 IGSA World Cup Downhill Skateboarding events on five continents.


"Given the complexity of organizing an IGSA World Cup event, accommodation often falls down the priority list for our event planners," says Marcus Rietema, President, IGSA. "With Meetingmax taking care of our housing needs and simplifying the booking process for our participants, planners and competitors will be able to focus on the events, not on finding hotel rooms."

Using our system, competitors will now be able to click one link to easily search for a participating hotel, explore its features, and book a room. IGSA will make a small commission on each booking and will be able to offer sponsors additional profile on the central booking page.

"Our system is designed to help our clients build better events," says Jeff Duncan, COO Meetingmax Systems. "For some clients that means that we hand the system over to them to manage, while others want us to handle the whole process including negotiations with hotels. We are delighted to be able to help IGSA will the full spectrum of our services."

IGSA oversees a world tour of 11 downhill skateboarding events in big cities and remote rural locations. This year's tour stops include Australia, the United States, Czech Republic, Italy, France, Canada, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, and South Africa.
