New Business Travel network: ‘Start networking before you arrive’

 

New York , NY January 29, 2008 – Business travelers who would like to network with others to promote their products and services, are joining a new business travel network.

The site has unique features in order to accommodate the needs of millions of business men and women who travel frequently. It is now possible to easily maintain and expand a business network, see who’s attending a specific tradeshows or know who’s in town.

The official launch of SkyLounge was announced this morning after two months of testing. The site at www.skylounge.com is offering free memberships to business travelers over the age of 21. Members can fill in a full business profile and even add their company and/or personal web address.

“It’s a network for ambitious hard working people that want to get more out of their trips”. Said founder Marcel van Gemerden. “Knowing when business contacts, friends and/or family are in town can be the difference between a mediocre trip and an absolute winner. “

SkyLounge was created to provide networking tools that make every trip a better experience in terms of business and mind.

“Networking is more than just meeting a person once. It’s keeping in touch and re-connecting on a continuous basis. SkyLounge gives its members that opportunity in a non-imposing and friendly way”.

The site also helps members manage their contacts in a simple and organized manner. Trips alerts can be activated so members will know beforehand who is in town.

“Some people are on the road for 6 month a year. They meet hundreds of business people a month. It is nearly impossible to keep track of every person you meet. SkyLounge allows you to easily add contacts to your network and will alert you when a trip overlaps. Never miss an opportunity again!”
