          Room University Delays Launch Due to COVID-19

          A simple alternative to show venues how to make additional income to prevent closing permanently

          HAMPTON— 08/04/2020 — Today, Room University [ www.roomuniversity.com], a digital marketplace to rent event venues, announced immediate availability of their marketplace service as a simple alternative to show venues how to make additional income to prevent closing permanently due to Covid-19.“

          Awesome businesses are suffering right now and the time is now to introduce the solution that can allow them to stay open." said Johnnie Benson, Co-Founder at Room University.

          Room University was projected to launch this summer, but when the novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) arrived, our team had to reconsider our approach. Should we delay our launch until it was confirmed that businesses were safe to re-open everywhere or should we find a way to assist businesses now? We are hoping that users can start booking their spaces in the Fall. For now, we are only requesting venues to list their venues on our marketplace.

          The " Next Normal" Option

          With events having to be cancelled all over the World, people are trying to determine where or if they can still host their pre-planned events. As we embark on the journey into the " next normal", we want to launch ahead of schedule, especially for venues like restaurants, to partner with us to create another stream of income. One of the founders, Johnene McBeth, completely shifted her plans for the destination wedding planned in Orlando, Florida, this past May.

          “COVID -19 has affected my family in many ways, but I’m grateful to be alive and I am strong enough to fight back. I postponed my wedding that I started planning two years ago and this process has become a logistical nightmare. While my husband and I have decided to get married ahead of our postponed wedding, it truly hurts to have lost at least one family member almost weekly since mid-March, especially since they were all supposed to be guests for our big day. I have so many reasons to give up. However, I choose to hope that venues all over the World will consider a different approach to share their space on our platform and guests choose to embrace this new normal by booking a space with the venues listed. Now more than ever, is important to make memories with the ones you love, while we still have them here to cherish.”
