PIAZZER is an online platform in which owners of public venues insert booking details for consultation by the general public. Details include the nature of the space, capacity, relevant regulations, costs and contacts. Individuals can find and attend meetings, meet others and share acquaintance and conversation.

HISTORY
PIAZZER was founded by Richard Harris, whose work in organising professional conferences led him to identify an opportunity to create truly open meetings to which all are welcome, and in which participants can freely share their knowledge and opinions. And telephone numbers. In the process, he came to understand that the greatest challenge is to find and obtain safe, visible and accessible locations, suitable for the events and attractive to the widest possible audience.
