The founders of Whosintown will be at the Business Travel Show at Earls Court from Feb 5th - 7th to meet and greet with some of the movers in the business travel industry. We are hoping to spread the word about our services and how this can benefit not only companies and individuals but also the planet. When used correctly the Whosintown system makes for smarter travel, so saves time, increases numbers of meetings on any given trip and hopefully if you’re travelling less then that’s got to be good for the environment.
Of course Whosintown is also great for business networking and works well even if you are staying in your own location as it tells you who’s coming to your town. Once we get back from the show we’ll let you know how we get on and hopefully be reporting on a high level of interest. If you’re at the show we’d be happy to meet up.

I decided to get involved with Whosintown because, from experience, I know that business travelling can be a lonely and frustrating life. I have spent a lot of time travelling with my other business Holiday Taxis over the last 5 years and a tool like Whosintown would have been a big help to me. It might not have meant more business but it would certainly have allowed me to set up more meetings whilst travelling. We think that the new service will reduce the amount of dead-time spent on business trips and will increase the number of face-to-face meetings possible in one journey. I’ll definitely be linking to Whosintown from my latest venture, Business Taxis.
Along with my co-founders we think we’ve created a site which will make planning business travel easier and more enjoyable. The site is currently in Beta and I’m pretty sure there are a lot of improvements we can make to the site both in terms of looks and ease of use. We welcome your comments on what we’re doing and if you want to see extra features or functionality, please let us know and we’ll see what we can do to include.
