Owings Mills, MD (2/15/06) -- I created www.meetaway.com because, as a frequent traveler to seminars, tradeshows, conventions and business meetings, I noticed so many travelers who found themselves in strange towns, attending conventions or meetings with people they don’t know. So many commented on how lonely this experience is. Most people simply do not like being alone. Further, I observed many of these people scrambling to make dinner plans, find and meet with business contacts, or just make new friends. For many business or vacation travelers, away from a familiar environment, evenings can be painfully lonely or boring. Absent effective networking, wonderful business, professional or personal contacts can be missed.

With the launch of www.meetaway.com, travelers worldwide will never again have to dread their next business trip. For first time or frequent travels, not knowing where to turn or hang out after a long day of meetings is no longer a worry thanks to this one of a kind "networking engine". Meetaway.com facilitates all facets of business and social networking, in advance, while offering tools to keep track of your travels. The easy-to-use format allows the traveler to search for people by event type or arrival/departure/city. One of the reasons for the success of www.meetaway.com is that it offers the user a totally unique and productive experience for the average trip.

Having attended trade shows, conventions, seminars and social events on a regular basis, I noticed people scrambling during these events to meet others and network about their business, make plans for lunch, dinner or go out in the evening. Whether it was business or casual, everyone had the same idea that it was fun, exciting and frequently productive to meet new people in a new town. I found that a good majority of people were interested in meeting people who were traveling to their towns for events, seminars, concerts etc.

One of the most exciting features of the site allows members to post their events and travel schedule, free of charge, so other members are easily able to network, set up meetings, a golf game or perhaps a date. In addition to the exciting networking capabilities of www.meetupway.com members are provided with a color coated digital calendar which posts their past, current and future plans.

At this time, there is no cost to sign up and join www.meetaway.com
