New Open Block Inventory Feature & Aura by Streampoint
In recent months, Streampoint has launched two transformative solutions designed to streamline and enhance event management: Open Block Inventory, an innovative new feature within Resiada that addresses full hotel room blocks, and Aura by Streampoint, our AI-driven event management and marketing platform that promises to empower event professionals to design and manage complex events up to 75% faster.
Open Block Inventory
Event planners familiar with the challenge of fully booked hotel room blocks will appreciate how Open Block Inventory can prevent attendees from turning to external options like Expedia, which often disconnects them from the event experience. By enabling planners to add additional hotel options via Resiada, Open Block Inventory ensures attendees have a smooth booking process within the event’s ecosystem, keeping them connected to the preferred hotels and ensuring a cohesive experience. Key benefits include:
🚀 Interactive, User-Friendly Booking: Attendees can select room types and rates directly within the event platform using an interactive map with detailed hotel views, eliminating the need to navigate external booking sites.
🚀 Enhanced Data Accuracy: Each booking is tied to the event, simplifying audits and ensuring precise tracking.
🚀 Improved Attendee Experience: Attendees enjoy a straightforward booking process, while planners maintain control over accommodations.
🚀 Accurate Auditing and Reporting: No more guesswork about where attendees stayed. Open Block connects bookings directly to your event data.
How It Works: After activating Open Block, you can choose which nearby hotels to include, display on an interactive map and set up the attendee booking experience. It provides the visual details–hotel photos, room types, and rates–directly from a Global Distribution System (GDS). Attendees can easily update dates, view room summaries, and enter guest information, making the booking experience smooth and integrated.
Aura by Streampoint
Built from the ground up in 2024, Aura by Streampoint is an AI-powered event registration and marketing platform with no technical debt or legacy code. Unlike platforms that layer new UI over outdated systems, Aura’s foundation is purely modern, leveraging AI to automate everything from event creation to marketing material generation. With minimal input, Aura crafts an on-brand event website along with a fully automated marketing kit, complete with customized promotional and reminder emails for each registration type. Highlights include:
🚀 Attractive, Branded Event Websites with Minimal Input: After entering a few event details, Aura generates a polished, fully branded website.
🚀 Customizable Design Options: Aura’s AI-powered layout engine enables planners to view and select styles for sections like speaker lists and session schedules.
🚀 Integrated Housing: Attendees can register and book accommodations in one seamless flow because Aura and Resiada are deeply connected.
How Aura Works: Once event details are entered through a series of prompts, along with chosen layouts and branding preferences, Aura produces a visually appealing event website along with segment-based marketing tools that planners can use as-is or further customize.
