Ready Set Rutherford and the Bentonville CVB Team Up With Meetingmax

We are excited to announce our partnership with two new Convention & Visitors Bureaus, the Rutherford County CVB and the Bentonville CVB!

With a population of more than 255,000, Rutherford County is Tennessee’s fastest-growing community. Located just a short drive southeast of Nashville, Rutherford County includes the cities of Murfreesboro, Smyrna, La Vergne and Eagleville. Industry abounds in Rutherford County and represents a Who’s Who of corporate giants, such as Nissan, Ingram, Whirlpool, General Mills, State Farm, Bridgestone-Firestone and Verizon Wireless, just to name a few.

The Rutherford County CVB is your all-in-one hospitality stop to help you plan your travel experience. With 48 hotels and over 3,800 hotel rooms, Rutherford hosts a variety of events from music and folk festivals, to MTSU games and TSSAA championships. Along with a host of planner resources, Rutherford will now offer online housing services through the Meetingmax Reservations Software. They plan on using their housing system primarily for sporting groups.  

Situated in one of the fastest growing regions in the country, beautiful Bentonville, Arkansas is in the midst of a great transformation. Long known as the home of Walmart Stores, Inc., Bentonville has boomed in population, amenities, and attractions over the last several years. The Bentonville CVB staff provide a wealth of support services to assist in making events a success. They can now add online housing to that list, through the Meetingmax Reservation Software.

Through Meetingmax, both Rutherford and Bentonville will benefit from access to economic impact reports that can be used to justify new projects and maintain funding by tracking key data such as total room nights booked, number of guests in their city, and total room spend per event. They will also be able to keep accurate records on groups who use their respective CVB as a housing bureau.

In addition, both cities have increased their competitiveness as they can now better serve their clients. Destinations that provide value-added services like online housing are simply more competitive in the marketplace. Event planners are starting to demand housing solutions from destinations. By making their lives easier, they will be more attracted to these cities.
