For Property Owners · Edition 2026

Placement, not posting.

A $30B convention market, traded as inventory — not listed as ads.

We acquire owner inventory ~180–200 days before each event, hold it through the booking window, and place it with corporate accounts that concentrate around the 120–160 day peak. Owners are paid as the placement settles — well before check-in.

Owner Trust Desk

Inventory placement is an investment, not a flip.

We engage owners around 180–200 days before an event so we can build inventory in that market well before corporate buyers concentrate placements at the 120–160 day peak. Most owner payouts settle inside the booking-window wave — well before check-in.

The numbers below show today's two-sided market: inventory coming in from owners (build) and placements going out to corporate buyers (sell). When the cycle is healthy, those flows roughly match.

The Model

A wave, not a flip.

The convention housing market moves like a wave. We acquire inventory from owners around 180–200 days out, hold through the 160–180 day mid, place it during the 120–160 day peak, and watch the last lots clear in the 90–120 day scarcity window. Most placements settle inside that window — not at check-in. Treat it like an investment with a clear holding period.

Inventory verification (T-200 → T-180)

We confirm your ownership, exchange company, and the inventory you can release. Nothing moves without your signed authorization.

Acquisition & holding (T-180 → T-120)

We commit to your inventory through the mid-cycle, build city-wide supply, and shop it to corporate accounts ahead of the placement peak. Most owner payouts settle inside this window.

Placement & scarcity (T-160 → T-90)

Corporate buyers concentrate placements at the 120–160 day peak; the 90–120 day scarcity window clears the last lots. Anything we can't place is returned with no fee.

Why timing matters

Convention rooms move like a wave.

The cycle starts ~200 days out, when we contact owners and begin acquiring inventory. From 180 down to 160 days the market sits in mid-cycle: supply is still building, corporate buyers are waking up.w

The crest of the wave is the 120–160 day placement peak — that's when corporate accounts concentrate the bulk of their housing commitments. From 120 down to 90 days the market enters scarcity: the last open inventory clears and our biggest cities flip to a sold-out badge.

Inside 90 days the booking window has closed: corporate buyers have already locked their blocks, exchanges stop accepting deposits, and demand collapses. Inventory released after that point can rarely be matched in time — which is exactly why we contact owners so far ahead of the event.

The wave, by phase

These are the same phases you see on the live ticker and city table.

ABUNDANT
180–200+ days out
Buying — owners contacted, inventory accumulating.
BUILDING
160–180 days out
Mid — supply still building, buyers waking up.
SELL PEAK
120–160 days out
Peak — corporate accounts concentrate placements.
CLOSING
90–120 days out
Scarcity — last lots clearing, sold-out badges open.
CLOSED
Under 90 days
Window closed — too late to place in time for the event.
