Streamline Event Communication Across Every Channel

AI messaging handles event planner inquiries, group booking coordination, and attendee questions on WhatsApp and Messenger—supporting your events team efficiently.

About This Hotel Type

Conference hotels juggle complex communication between event planners, corporate coordinators, and individual attendees. Event planners message about room blocks, AV requirements, catering options, and contract details. Group coordinators need rooming lists and billing arrangements. Individual attendees ask about check-in times, meeting locations, and dining options. This multi-stakeholder communication creates significant volume across multiple channels. AI messaging provides consistent, accurate responses to all parties—answering routine questions instantly while escalating complex negotiations to your events team with full context.
