Getting started with QuoteCloud

Conference proposals with the rooms and the meeting in one

Day delegate or residential packages per delegate per day, breakouts, AV and the accommodation block, in one proposal the organiser signs.

QuoteCloud lets hotel conference and MICE teams send one proposal for a meeting: delegate packages as a single choice priced per delegate per day, breakout rooms and AV as lines, extras the organiser ticks, the accommodation block night by night, and a deposit on signing. Social functions such as a gala dinner go in a separate function proposal.

A conference floor at a fictional hotel: the Wattle Room plenary, the Banksia and Waratah breakouts, the foyer and guest rooms upstairs. For the same 36 delegates over 2 days, three packages take turns: half-day at $65 per delegate per day ($4,680), full-day at $89 with the breakouts and lunch ($6,408), and residential at $319 with a room for the night ($22,968).

Three ways to run the same offsite

Orchard Lane Insurance's leadership team of 36, two days in February. Send one option, or all three, each a proposal the organiser can sign.

A boardroom with a long timber table and a wide city view

The meeting and a room for the night

Everything in the full-day package, plus a Deluxe King and breakfast. The accommodation is part of the package, so one proposal covers the rooms and the meeting.

Larger groups: room blocks night by night

The organiser chooses the package, the totals follow

Delegate packages are a single-choice group: pick one and the package line in the price table takes its price for 72 delegate days. Extras such as the second screen or the harbour walk are optional rows. The total and the 25% deposit change as they choose.

Delegate numbers change late. Turn on quantity editing for the lines you choose, or send a revised version once the final numbers are in.

  • Single-choice packages driving a price line
  • Optional rows for AV, activities and late check-out
  • Deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, paid on signing

What a conference proposal has to answer

The questions organisers and PCOs ask every venue, answered in one document instead of a venue pack, a contract and a card form.

  • Which spaces, set how

    The plenary and breakouts with their set-up and capacity, as text, an image block or a table from your content library.

  • Price per delegate

    Half-day, full-day and residential packages side by side, priced per delegate per day so venues compare like for like.

  • Rooms for the night

    A residential package, or the room block night by night beside the meeting for bigger groups.

  • What can be added

    AV, activities and late check-out as optional rows the organiser ticks, with the total updating.

  • How the day runs

    A program outline as a Gantt chart or a simple table, so the organiser sees the room changes and breaks.

  • How to confirm

    Sign online and pay the deposit on the same page. Your terms, cut-off and final-numbers date are in the document.

The meeting here, the gala dinner next door

A conference often comes with a dinner. Meetings and rooms are covered here; dinners, awards nights and celebrations are covered on the events & functions pages.

Orchard Lane's dinner on night one is a separate function proposal from the same events team, mentioned in the conference proposal's notes. Each has its own deposit.

Send one proposal for the meeting and the rooms

14 days free, no credit card. Set up your delegate packages once and reuse them for every enquiry.

The program in the proposal

A Gantt chart shows the organiser how the day runs: arrival coffee, the plenary, lunch in the foyer, the breakouts and the optional harbour walk, with check-in ready mid-afternoon.

It's your planning, laid out in the document they sign. Your notes and comments sit beside it, so a changed session time is answered where everyone can see it.

From venue enquiry to signed conference

How a conference and events sales team sends a MICE proposal with QuoteCloud.

  1. Choose the conference template

    Spaces, packages, AV and your terms are already in it, from your content library.

  2. Set the delegates and days

    The package line counts delegate days; add breakouts and AV as lines and extras as optional rows.

  3. Add rooms if they stay

    Choose a residential package or add the room block night by night.

  4. Send and answer questions

    Track when it's opened and reply to comments in the document.

  5. Signed with the deposit

    The organiser picks the package, signs and pays the deposit through Stripe or PayPal.

Conference and MICE questions, answered

Can delegates' packages be priced per delegate per day?

Yes. Put your half-day, full-day and residential packages in a single-choice group. The chosen package sets the price of a package line whose quantity is the delegate days, for example 36 delegates over 2 days is 72. Price tables are on Essentials and above.

Can one proposal include the meeting and the accommodation?

Yes. Use a residential package that includes the room, or add the room block as price-table sections night by night beside the meeting. Rooms and rates are typed by your team or sent through the API: QuoteCloud doesn't check availability.

What if delegate numbers change?

Before signing you can turn on quantity editing for chosen lines. After signing, send a revised version with the new numbers for the organiser to sign. QuoteCloud doesn't handle registration or delegate lists.

Can we show the program?

Yes, as a Gantt chart on the Business plan, or as a table or text block on any plan. It shows your planning; QuoteCloud doesn't manage function diaries, banquet event orders or AV inventory.

Where does the gala dinner go?

In a separate function proposal from your events team. QuoteCloud's events and functions pages cover dinners, awards nights and celebrations. Mention one document in the other's notes; each has its own deposit.
