The information and advice you need, when you need it. 

When you choose Orchid, you will be assigned a dedicated team led by an experienced Account Manager who acts as your main point of contact during the housing management process. Your team will combine resources to advise you on strategies for hotel room block management. They will oversee the reservation process and work closely with contracted hotels to make sure each of your attendees are well served. 

 

 

  

Sub-Block Management

Sub-Block Mang.

Simplify the most challenging aspect of housing management – sub-blocks.

Sub-blocks are designated sections of a hotel’s room block that can be created to accommodate special groups including exhibitors, VIPs, speakers, and staff.

Orchid works with you to identify the specific sub-block needs for your event and makes recommendations to flawlessly execute this critical area of housing management.

Our home-grown Online Room Block Request Tool has proven helpful in managing some of the most important event attendees.

We help you look ahead and prepare for what is coming next!

As an Orchid client, you will have access to the reservation system’s Event Planner Dashboard which provides real-time updates on your event’s pickup through a set of standard reports.  Customized reports are also available with set-up assistance from your Account Manager.

Event Planner Dashboard features:

  • Run reports
  • Submit or modify rooming lists
  • Deliver data to your inbox or export as a PDF/Spreadsheet
  • Access historical data to guide future event planning

Common Standard Reports:

  • Block & Pickup Reports by hotel

  • Sub-Block Report by Company, Group, or Type
  • Delegate Rooming List

Custom Reports are created and set up by your Account Manager according to your needs.

 

Post Event:

When your event is over, we conduct a post-event audit to ensure every booked room gets counted. We want you to have an accurate report card and get credit for the appropriate financial concessions.

We obtain all final pickup information from event hotels and create a detailed final housing report including the audit results, “wash factor,” number of reservations by booking method, pace reports, etc. We review this information with you in a post conference call to review the housing process and offer suggestions to optimize future meetings.
