Groups360, a hospitality technology company, has appointed Jason Bond as vice president of attendee solutions.
In this role, Bond will partner with Groups360 clients to identify opportunities for business improvement and operational growth across their events portfolios. In addition, he will oversee a planned expansion of the organization’s group housing solutions, which allow planners and event organizers to create group accommodation sites for events where attendees can book and manage their own hotel reservations, and planners have access to a dashboard to track and manage the room block.
Bond brings over 25 years of experience in the meetings and events industry to his new role. Most recently, he served as executive vice president, enterprise event solutions for Prestige Global Meeting Source, a full-service meetings and events management agency.
“I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside the visionary team at Groups360 for many years and have experienced the benefits firsthand, so I am thrilled to now be joining this dynamic organization,” he said. “Throughout my career, my purpose has remained the same: to help and serve people through events and meetings. Groups360’s revolutionary event-tech solutions are uniquely positioned to drive real efficiency in hotel and venue sourcing, housing management and event planning process optimization. I’m excited to bring my planner-side experience to this mission.”
Before Prestige Global Meeting Source, Bond spent more than 11 years as vice president, global accounts at ConferenceDirect. Earlier in his career, he served as managing director for HOST Event Management and as manager of sales & marketing for the Ontario Tourism Education Corporation, further deepening his experience across the tourism, hospitality and event services landscape.
“Jason’s deep understanding of the event planner mindset and his proven track record of delivering innovative solutions make him an exceptional fit for Groups360,” said Tim Flors, SVP and chief customer officer at Groups360. “His leadership and passion for the events industry will further our mission to simplify group travel and meeting planning with tools that are intuitive, impactful, and built with the end user in mind.”
