Making Booking Hotels Easy

MeetingMax online bookings help you save time & money
The CBABC is proud to announce the spring launch of a membership service that will allow you to conveniently, quickly and cheaply access all of its current hotels online. The CBABC’s new online hotel booking service gives members the opportunity for even greater hotel savings!

With help from our new member service supplier, MeetingMax Inc., all CBABC members will have access to the service through our redesigned branch website. Once in the main body of the CBABC website, CBA members will be able to book rooms at all CBA preferred hotels at their convenience. The custom web design will make accommodation arrangements very simple and efficient and allow you to see the hotel you will be booking along with other pertinent hotel and area information.

MeetingMax is familiar with venues and hotels all over North America and is constantly expanding its services. They are continually updating the CBABC’s list of contacts and inspecting locations to be sure that we are current, so that you don’t have to be. The CBABC looks forward to introducing this new service to its members and hopes to provide great value for years to come!
