October MPI Education Breakfast

Every planner sends RFPs. Almost nobody knows what a “normal” response actually looks like.

Join MPI Tennessee for an education breakfast that pulls back the curtain on hotel sourcing — using real data from 100,000+ proposal requests across 150,000+ hotels in 94 countries.

We’ll answer the questions planners currently guess at:

· How many hotels really bid on your RFP?

· How much lead time actually buys you better options?

· Which concessions do hotels say yes to?

· And why does Nashville behave differently than Atlanta?

Sean Whalin, Co-Founder & CEO of Hopskip, kicks us off with a 25-minute data presentation — followed by a candid panel of planners and hoteliers tackling what needs to change about the traditional RFP process.
