Cracking the Code of the Future Room Block

September 12, 2019 @ 5:30 pm8:30 pm EDT

Thursday, September 12, 2019

5:30 pm – 8:30 pm

By now we realize, a silver bullet doesn’t exist to address the many factors contributing to the erosion of the room block. Instead, what we need moving forward is a multitude of strategies. Join us for a discussion on how events strategists will address the shift in the room block climate and how they will rethink everything from their goals, their metrics and whether they’ll need a room block at all.

Learner Outcomes

  • Discover new industry resources you could use to educate your stakeholders about the difference between your room demand and contracted  room block
  • Assess the current state of your organization’s room block practices
  • Identify specific practices other event organizers are having success deploying
