Hubli

Overview

Hubli is an Ireland-based enterprise meetings-management and venue-sourcing platform operated by Meetingsbooker Limited. It helps organizations source meeting venues and hotels, manage event requests and budgets, automate payments, and track meetings spend. The platform serves both small self-service bookings and more complex corporate events, with stated inventory of more than 400,000 spaces in 124 countries and integrations with major hotel groups including IHG, Marriott, and Hyatt.

The company is notable for evolving from Meetingsbooker.com, a small-meeting booking service, into a broader strategic meetings-management platform. Its market position is centered on digitizing venue and group-hotel sourcing for corporate meeting planners, procurement teams, and finance functions rather than operating venues itself.

History

Hubli originated as Meetingsbooker.com, founded in 2009 as a bootstrapped direct-to-consumer platform for booking small meeting spaces, initially with venues in Dublin. Ciarán Delaney founded the business and later launched Hubli as an enterprise-focused brand in response to demand for a faster, digital-first meetings solution. The company has expanded from small-meeting bookings into venue sourcing, event management, group hotel sourcing, payments, registration, and meetings-spend reporting. Meetingsbooker Limited remains the Irish company that owns and operates the Hubli website.
