Introduction

For globally distributed teams, planning an in-person meeting can feel like solving a puzzle: flights, costs, time zones, emissions, and fairness all need to align.
That’s why the concept of a Meeting Point Finder is changing how organizations plan their meetings — by turning complex travel data into simple, data-driven decisions.

Why the Meeting City Matters

The location of a meeting impacts much more than just logistics.
It affects travel time, productivity, emissions, and even team morale.
Choosing the right city means your employees spend less time on the road and more time collaborating.

The Problem With Traditional Planning

Most companies still decide meeting locations based on gut feeling or convenience.
But that approach often leads to unnecessary costs and emissions.
For example: flying everyone to a “central” city might look fair, yet it may not be optimal when considering total travel hours, ticket prices, or CO₂ output.

How a Meeting Point Finder Works

A Meeting Point Finder like Convien uses data from flights, trains, and geography to calculate the best overall meeting location for your team.

It analyzes:

• Total travel time for all participants
• CO₂ emissions based on chosen transport modes
• Travel costs (flights, trains, hotels)
• Accessibility and connectivity

The result: a single city recommendation that balances sustainability, efficiency, and cost — objectively and transparently.

The Benefits for Global Teams

• 🕒 Save time: Reduce total travel hours for all attendees
• 🌍 Cut emissions: Lower CO₂ by up to 42 % through optimized locations
• 💶 Reduce costs: Avoid overpaying for travel and accommodation
• 💡 Make better decisions: Base meeting planning on facts, not opinions
