TROOP is a group meeting planning and travel management platform that helps companies bring teams together for in-person meetings.

Using TROOP, companies have saved millions in travel costs, employee time, and carbon emissions, making it possible for people to meet and build stronger relationships with their colleagues, clients, and partners, even in times of tightening budgets and travel restrictions.
