Chili Piper Launches New On-site Meetings Scheduling Tool for Events

May 14, 2019

Technology company Chili Piper has launched a new event scheduling tool designed to improve how B2B event managers and field marketing managers book, manage and track individual and group meetings on-site at events.

Besides delivering a broader feature set that can be deployed in just hours, the platform is also designed to help event managers improve and measure their event ROI.

“The expertise we developed from creating our scheduling platform led us to launching a first-of-kind solution specifically for event managers that meets all their goals,” said Nicolas Vandenberghe, CEO and co-founder of Chili Piper. “This includes detailed tracking and measurement—something that’s critical for an industry that has a high sensitivity to proving ROI.”

In addition, the software also integrates with a company’s existing marketing and sales software tools.

Key features of the scheduling tool allow event managers to do the following:

  • Use the Concierge in web pages to automatically route inquiries to the right salesperson, allowing prospects to book meetings in two clicks
  • Use Smart Links in campaigns to book demo hours, dinners, happy hour events and more
  • Manage event capacity and meeting rooms
  • Use placeholder calendars to book meetings ahead of time and assign to reps later
  • Book in-person meetings ahead of an event by phone, email or web
  • Avoid double booking with real-time management of sales reps’ availability
  • Re-assign a meeting from one rep to another
  • Manage all meetings on the event floor with the Check-in app
  • Fully integrate with Chili Piper’s scheduling platform and work seamlessly with all other features. Integrate with an existing marketing and sales stack
  • Detailed tracking and automation in Salesforce allow for reporting and visibility to better measure event ROI. Use custom meeting types to show how many meetings were booked, pipeline generated and revenue closed

Founded in 2016, Chili Piper works to deliver innovative software that helps businesses help their buyers. Its scheduling platform—which boosts buyer engagement by allowing qualified leads to automatically book a meeting or call after filling out a site’s contact form—is used by companies such as Square, Intuit and Twilio.

Water Stewardship Efforts MGM Resorts understands the importance of using water efficiently, especially in the desert destination of Las Vegas.

In 2022, MGM Resorts President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle signed the CEO Water Mandate—a UN Global Compact initiative mobilizing business leaders to advance water stewardship.

MGM Resorts pledges to reduce water withdrawal intensity by 33% by 2025 and by 35% by 2030. From 2007-2021, use of more than 5.6 billion gallons of water was avoided because of conservation efforts. Caring for One Another MGM Resorts’ Food Donations Program collects and preserves unserved food from conventions held at MGM Resorts properties, then safely donates to food insecure people in the community. Since the program’s launch in 2016, more than 3.7 million meals toward a 2025 goal of 5 million meals have been donated into the community. Donations include: Unserved perishable prepared foods from events Perishable unprepared food from MGM Resorts’ kitchens Nonperishable food items from minibars and warehouses The collaboration with Southern Nevada’s primary food bank, Three Square, has developed the infrastructure needed to safely collect, transport, and store food from MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas, reducing food waste while serving the community.
