Ann Arbor's RB Systems goes national with EveryMeeting.com

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 | Source: Concentrate
When Nadine Burns saw a need, she knew there was also a business opportunity. It's why she and her husband started EveryMeeting.com from their software firm RB Systems.

When Burns was on the board of the American Marketing Association's Detroit chapter, she noticed there wasn't a central location to post professional meeting notices. EveryMeeting.com was born not long after that.

The website lets people post their professional meetings and events in a professional setting. Think more LinkedIn than Facebook. Right now users can make posts for free and sign up for a free annual membership before the end of the month.

"There is nothing out there like it," Burns says.

RB Systems is a software contracting firm that Burns husband started four years ago and now employs two people, half a dozen independent contractors and 1-2 interns out of Ann Arbor SPARK's Central Business Incubator in downtown Ann Arbor.

The company is working on a mobile application and social media strategy for the website. It hopes to host 100,000 meetings within the first year. It's already spreading across the nation, attracting meetings and events from all corners of the U.S.

"We haven't anticipated it going out of state as fast as it has," Burns says.
