Software that manages hotel accommodations for groups, from initial rate negotiations and contracts through attendee booking, reservation tracking, and post-event reconciliation. EventPipe also includes Presto, a live inventory booking tool for groups that need hotel options outside a contracted block-whether that's post-block overflow, a standalone event, or an organization that isn't ready to commit to a full room block contract.
A set of hotel rooms reserved at a contracted rate for a specific event. The housing company or event organizer negotiates group hotel rates in advance, securing inventory and pricing for attendees. Hotels offer favorable rates and commissions in exchange for a guaranteed number of room nights.
When a contracted block fills or its cutoff date passes, overflow attendees have nowhere to book through the official channel. EventPipe's Presto product connects to live hotel inventory so organizers can keep a booking link active. Commissions continue flowing without a new hotel contract.
A tournament policy requiring participating teams to book accommodations at officially designated hotels.Teams that don’t comply risk being barred from competing. EventPipe's Teams Management product tracks compliance and flags non-compliant teams before an event.
General booking platforms are built for individual travelers choosing their own hotel. EventPipe is built for the organizations responsible for getting an entire group there: negotiating rates, managing room inventory, giving attendees a place to book, and reconciling what was used after the event. That operational layer, from rate negotiation through post-event reconciliation, is what consumer lodging tools were never designed to handle.
