Sheraton Grand Macao and The St. Regis Macao have launched “eVent PortfolioTM,” a mobile tool that streamlines event planning processes and offers environmentally-friendly alternatives.
The “eVent Portfolio” – which is free for meeting planners – enables event planners, event managers and clients to collaborate via a centralized web-based tool. The user interface integrates all documents and correspondence and sorts them by time and date.
The tool also features a special sustainability tab that lets planners track their usage of paper, energy and waste during their meetings.
Both hotels will soon offer complimentary phone devices for business and leisure guests during their stay at any of the hotels’ combined 4,400 rooms. The phones offer unlimited local voice calls and data access while exploring the region.
