New York, New York - June 6, 2005 - BiZBash, the preeminent resource for the event planning industry, announced today that it now offers discounted group hotel rates for every conceivable type of groups from corporations and nonprofits to religious groups and family reunion groups.

Through a unique partnership with Groople.com, BiZBash Group Travel (BiZBashGroupTravel.com) is empowering thousands of event professionals to save on hotel rooms. Other types of groups that are poised to take advantage of group buying savings include political campaigns, incentive trips, wedding groups, class reunions, sporting events, student groups, event marketers, and other business entertaining needs.

According to CEO David Adler, “BiZBash Group Travel gives small groups the opportunity to pool their buying power and have the clout of a Fortune 500 company. It will help event planners and part-time planners save a huge amount of time while adding efficiency and accountability to the process.”

BiZBash’s monthly 200,000 unique users now have the tools to research and make group travel arrangements online. While most travel booking sites don’t allow for group reservations at all, through BiZBash, hotel bookings for five rooms or hundreds of rooms are now simple to book and include special group rates. With an initial offering of hotels, the service will expand to offer airfare, cruise, rental car, and rail bookings online. A special toll-free number (888.4GROOPLE) is already available for arranging air, cruise, car rental, and rail reservations, as well as more complicated hotel requests.

BiZBash’s new group booking functionality will be easily accessible through a primary tab on the homepage. In addition to research and reservations, the site will also offer BiZBash users:

• Specially negotiated group rates and real time availability for hotel rooms
• Personal attention, with experts available by phone to answer any questions
• Ability to easily keep track of changes to group members’ individual itineraries
• Flexible payment options, including the ability to pay for each room on a separate credit card, preventing one person from having to pay the whole bill
