(January 29, 2009) – Austin, TX – MeetingTechOnline, an event technology advisor and directory service provider, announced MTO Summit 2009 will be held March 24-25 in Washington D.C. at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center.

MTO Summit 2009 provides event professionals a single place to learn about the latest developments and trends in event technology. This year’s summit will focus on education and real-world implementations of social media, Web 2.0, systems integrations and mobile applications in the events industry.

“Faced with a challenging economic environment, new customer requirements and limited operational budgets, the events industry is looking for new ways of doing business,” said Stephen Nold, MTO Summit’s show organizer. “MTO Summit is designed to educate event professionals and equip them with the information they need to overcome these challenges.”

MTO Summit 2009 includes two technology education tracks, focusing on exhibition systems and social media. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear case studies about real-world implementations from their peers and participate in how-to sessions.

“MTO Summit 2009 is the gathering of the community of software suppliers, entrepreneurs and buyers who are realizing the promise of social media and exhibition tools in the center of face-to-face marketing,” said Jeff Quade with GES, platinum sponsor. “MTO Summit 2009 was launched to connect the builders of innovations with the brightest minds, hottest ideas, most valuable tools -- and with each other.”

MTO Summit 2009 features David Meerman Scott, a marketing strategist, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, seminar leader and author of the best-selling PR and marketing book, “The New Rules of Marketing and PR: How to use news releases, blogs, viral marketing and online media to reach buyers directly.”

The event in Washington, D.C. is the first of three events. MTO Summit 2009 will also be held in Earls Court, London, U.K. June 24-25 at the Earls Court Brompton Hall, and San Francisco, CA in October 2009.

MTO Summit 2009 is ideal for corporate event marketers, show organizers and conference planners looking for new ways to expand their markets, do more with less and become more operationally efficient through technology.
