BUSINESS NEWS AUSTRALIA AND IVVY TEAM UP

BUSINESS News Australia has launched a new venue hire site in partnership with leading events and venue management cloud computing software company iVvy, in a move that is set to further revolutionise the way businesses plan and manage their event needs.

The new venue hire site offers the opportunity for event planners to easily search, compare and book event venues online.

Users are able to book any and all events, including parties, gala dinners, private dining's, weddings, business meetings and multi-day conferences, through the Business News Australia Venue Hire website.

From boutique bars, to golf clubs, restaurants and function areas in larger hotels, the site allows users to benefit from quicker access, process efficiencies and better experiences.
