TLDR - we streamline group bookings for every step of the way, from getting the best group rates to helping you fill and manage your room block.
Thanks for the question. There's a few important things that we're doing differently from anyone else:
1) Roomblocker is for all groups - for corporate events (conferences, offsites, etc), personal events (weddings, family reunions, etc), and social events (student trips, sports travel, etc).
2) We match you with a real person to personally negotiate the best rates and terms. There's no fees and we don't mark up rates. Other solutions just forward you quotes from hotels and then you're on your own.
3) After you've booked, we provide a dashboard and a link to your room block so guests can easily reserve their rooms online. You don't have to mess around with spreadsheets, or provide an obscure call in code, or send guests to some clunky hotel site.
We're also doing small things that help streamline group bookings, for example integrating e-signature so our users don't have to fax paperwork back and forth with hotels.
There's a ton of opportunity in this space and we're excited to help bring this industry forward!
