Management software that runs hotel sourcing for an event: finding properties, sending the RFP, tracking responses, comparing rates and concessions, and moving agreed terms into the contract. EventPipe brings it into one platform, so teams manage RFPs across a full calendar without the time consuming spreadsheet work.
Housing companies that contract room blocks are the core users. These are the group travel agents that source hotels, run booking sites, and collect commissions for event organizers. Associations, event planners, and travel managers who source their own hotels use the same RFP tools, though the platform is built first for housing companies.
No. EventPipe serves the side that sends them. Hotel sales teams and revenue teams handle incoming RFP volume and proposal creation in their own systems. What they get from an EventPipe user is a cleaner request, with dates, room counts, and terms in one place, which is what industry leaders on both sides want.
Yes. Some events need a separate deal with one property, such as a staff rate or a different room type, while the main RFP covers everyone else. EventPipe gives you the ability to run multiple RFPs under one event, each with its own terms, and everything still rolls up to the same event record.
Use a live inventory booking link instead. Presto lets companies publish a hotel booking link without contracting a block, and completed reservations can still earn a commission. It fits first-year events, smaller meetings, and overflow once a block sells out. Focus the RFP process on the events that earn it.
