What’s Different About Hopskip?

Specialized in Event Venue Sourcing

Unlike Cvent’s broad event management platform, Hopskip focuses exclusively on helping professional planners source hotels—the critical first step in planning any business event.

Transparent, Straightforward Pricing

Our subscription model is simple, with no hidden fees or complex upsells. We’re passionate about the events industry and committed to creating value for everyone.

Quality Over Quantity

Our platform delivers highly targeted, high-converting leads that hotels can’t find anywhere else. Every RFP comes from a subscribed, paying planner with real budget authority.

Real Hospitality, Real-Time Support

Get help within minutes, not days. Receive quick, personal support—a difference our customers consistently praise.

Modern, Nimble Technology

Our intuitive platform provides real-time market insights that no other sourcing tool offers. Being free from legacy constraints, we continuously release powerful new features—all designed to be simple to learn and easy to use.

Precise Yet Personal

Our platform adapts to your workflow, not the other way around. Planners customize RFPs, hotels craft standout proposals—and everyone cuts sourcing time in half with intelligent features like instant reporting and branded presentations.

What Hopskip Customers Say About Switching From Cvent

Hopskip made site sourcing feel simple from day one, even when I was brand new to the process. The step-by-step RFP form walks you through everything you need, and the search feature does the heavy lifting, suggesting comparable properties and markets and flagging hotels running sales incentives. Sourcing hotels all year long, that adds up to a lot of saved time. And when I do need help, Hopskip's support team shows up immediately. I haven't found a tech tool anywhere with better customer support. Between the speed, the smarts, and the reporting and analytics that make our results stand out, Hopskip turns a notoriously cumbersome process into something almost enjoyable.

Hopskip is an intuitive platform backed by exceptional service. Whenever I hit a snag, I can troubleshoot it myself, and if I can't, there's always someone ready to help. What stands out most is that the Hopskip team truly listens to planners and is constantly working to improve the platform for the good of the industry. We were early adopters, and we've recommended Hopskip to so many of our peers since. Beyond the platform itself, the details on each hotel let us do a preliminary check against our needs before we ever deploy an RFP, and having contact emails on hand means we can always reach a hotel directly if we need to.

Sourcing hotels around the world used to eat up my week, now Hopskip gives that time back. RFP templates, saved contacts, client proposals and reporting all live in one place, and my favorite feature, the Decision Deck, lets clients watch hotel proposals roll in through a single live link.

But what really sets Hopskip apart is the people behind it. Their chatbot gets me to a real human fast, and that team is responsive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in making the platform better.

In a world of hold music and robots that don't listen, Hopskip somehow delivers cutting-edge technology with a human touch to back it up.
