"This is a fast-growing industry and from the first day we launched we've been asked when Confabb would provide a marketplace function for vendors to connect with event organizers, and a jobs resource," said Jon Mandell, COO, Confabb. "We've always intended to add new functionality to Confabb and these are two very natural starting points. Our position as the largest resource in the meetings space makes us a natural first stop for organizers looking for vendors and professionals in the meetings industry to network with each other and be exposed to employers with career openings. We're excited about the launch of these two products and expect the reception for them to be very warm."
