“This tool is a must-have”
CONVIEN convinced me because of the interfaces available and by the fact that almost all the ideas and questions I had were covered by the functions. It is so easy for the end user to utilize and has so much intelligence in the background. For anyone who operates as a 'homo oeconomicus', this tool is a must-have.

About Convien
Where should we meet? Let’s make it a decision, not a habit.
Most teams pick a meeting location out of habit: the headquarters, last year’s city, the place someone knows. Yet where a group meets decides what it costs, how long people travel and how much carbon the trip creates. We calculate the best place from where attendees actually are, with cost, time and carbon side by side.
- To make every meeting start in the right place: the location that saves the most money, time and carbon for the people who travel.
- Our mission
- No group meets in the wrong city by default. The best option for the budget, the people and the planet is also the easy one.
- Our vision
Our values
Numbers, not claims.
We show how we calculate, and when your city is already the best choice, we say so.
Savings first, planet included.
Lower cost and lower CO2 usually point the same way.
Origins, not people.
A city or an airport is enough.
Built to fit in.
We work in the tools you already use.
“I had the idea for CONVIEN during my earlier leadership role at a medical technology group, when I felt I was spending more time at airports than with my family.”
