 | Meetpie.com –
the event industry's number one portal – is published by CAT
Publications, specialists in the international events industry since
1987.
The recipe is a large portion of experience, a
dash of energy, a slice of youthful enthusiasm and a sprinkling of
motivation. The result is a deep understanding of the meetings and event
industry and a team spirit with the drive to make things happen.
Experience is in every strand of the CAT structure because the company
ethos is to keep and nurture the key people to build a knowledge-based
team.

throughout the organisation. Marketing Communications Director Maria

who has spent 15 years with CAT. Maria is also the architect of
www.meetpie.com and is responsible for its constant development as we
add new features and fresh
functionality. |
