EventPipe - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

EventPipe gives event housing teams one platform to manage hotel room blocks across every stage of an event. Sports housing companies, event producers, meeting planners, and CVBs use it to handle RFPs, contracts, inventory, booking sites, reconciliation, and invoicing, so they can take on more events while cutting manual work and protecting the revenue they earn.

The company launched in 2021. Co-founder and CTO Mike Adessa comes from youth sports, where he saw firsthand that no software was built to manage hotel room blocks for large events.

With Room Block Management, users find hotels near a venue, send RFPs, and manage contracted room blocks. They can launch custom booking sites where attendees pick rooms, reserve, and pay. Support staff can pull up any reservation by confirmation number. Before the event, users send each hotel its final rooming list. After the event, pickup reports and reconciliation show what was booked versus who actually stayed, and built-in invoicing helps users collect the commissions and rebates hotels owe.

Teams Management supports stay-to-play tournaments by tracking which teams have booked and whether they meet event requirements. It helps housing companies address blockflation, EventPipe's term for teams over-reserving rooms and inflating a block while actual pickup falls short.

PipeSights gives leadership a view of business performance, pacing, and event activity across the full portfolio.

EventPipe also connects to live hotel inventory. Organizers can keep capturing reservations after a block sells out or its cutoff passes, with no new hotel contract required. The same capability powers standalone booking sites for events without a contracted block.
