Personally, I would see this as a forum where anyone who was planning an event/meeting that requires flying, hotel rooms, conference rooms, etc, could come to have discussions.

I could see some who plan events on a regular basis asking about the various tools, contract issues, whose easiest to work with, hardest, what bonus opportunites are there from the various programs are out there. If flights are involved, does it make sense to deal with an airline and hotels separately, deal with just the hotels or airlines for both, or deal with a 3rd party, etc. For hotels, does it make more sense to Master bill or to allow each individual to pay, etc. What are the pros/cons for each of the airline's/hotel's meetings/events portals? Heck, is it best to use those portals or are there other, better, ways to setup a meeting/group trip.

I suspect there are a number of FTers who may be more on the infrequent planner side of things. They may want to see what tricks of the trade, shortcuts, best point opportunities, etc. are available to help make the most of this one event.

Basically today, there just isn't any one place for this information and with no set place, I suspect people may end up going elsewhere or just not asking at all. And in reality, travel planning for groups or meeting planning is more than just trying to get bonus points/miles. So having a set place might actually spark discussions that aren't coming around today.

And yes, points/miles is a big issue, just not the only one. Heck, with one event I renew my PC Plat status every year. ^ So I'm sure there will be discussions around who offers the most miles/points for a specific meeting/event. The problem with having that type of discussion in a particular hotel/airline forum is that the answers will normally be very centric to the hotel/airline for that forum. And yes, some of this can be done in Milesbuzz but as mentioned there are a lot of areas that go beyond just the basic miles/points discussions.
