Think Beyond the Block: Introducing OpenBlock for Contract-Free Event Housing

Flexible, Profitable, and Risk-Free Hotel Booking – No Contracts, No Cutoffs, No Chaos

---

You know the drill.

It’s 8 a.m. You can barely keep up with your Inbox already. Your keynote speaker needs help booking flights. You think twice before opening Slack, and when you do, sure enough, you find this: 

“It’s great to see last-minute interest picking up (silver lining!), but the room block is officially sold out (tradeoffs!).”

Cue the scramble.

You don’t need to check the cutoff – you already clocked that two days ago. You’re texting the hotel rep while scanning for backup options within walking distance. You’ve got a draft ready for last-minute registrants before they even hit send. And yes, you’ll check your email—but only to confirm the fire you already put out.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Event planners everywhere are managing hotel room blocks with rigid contracts and hard cutoff dates (not to mention zero insight into off-block bookings.)

Just like you, they’re spending tons of time on housing that could go toward other key tasks, like programming, speaker training, sponsorship strategy, marketing, and eating, breathing, or sleeping. 

There’s a New Kid On The “Block” 

OpenBlock is a new way to manage hotel accommodations without contracts, cutoff dates, or inventory limitations. Instead of guessing how many rooms you’ll need, OpenBlock connects your event directly to live hotel inventory allowing attendees to book right from your event website.

You stay out of risk, gain total visibility, and even earn commissions on bookings. No manual updates. No last-minute scrambles. No lost data. Just smarter housing, finally built around the way you work.

Top OpenBlock Advantages

1. No contracts. Offer no-risk hotel options from your event website without financial commitments.
   
2. No cutoffs. Late registrations are increasingly the norm. Accommodate attendees who book last minute with late booking flexibility and live hotel inventory until the day of your event – even flip on OpenBlock once inventory is out if you want to. 
   
3. No minimums. Let attendees choose their housing based on preference, budget, and points programs without worrying about meeting a committed minimum.
   
4. No attrition. Steer clear of contractual obligations that expose you to attrition penalties.
   
5. No compromise on visibility. Gain complete visibility into every booking and ensure your team receives the commissions it’s rightfully earned.
   
6. No lost revenue. Earn commission on every eligible booking.
