"We've made remarkable strides since our Series A, achieving a 30x increase in revenue and earning the trust of major clients including PwC, Block, and AWS," said Marc Bonin, CEO of Planned.

"The Meetings & Events industry is highly complex and remains profoundly traditional and labor-intensive to this day. But AI changed everything. Our vision is that by combining human service and AI, we can challenge the status quo that traditional travel & sourcing agencies (TMCs) present and provide a faster, more personalized service to clients. We believe that the TMC of the future has to be tech-enabled, and fundraising will allow us to accelerate our development."

Planned is excited to welcome Frederic Lalonde, CEO and Co-Founder of Hopper and former VP at Expedia, to its Board of Directors. "Joining Planned at this pivotal moment is incredibly exciting," said Frederic Lalonde. "Planned's innovative approach makes it a standout in an industry that is almost tragically old school. I look forward to contributing to its continued success and expansion."
