6 Years Running: Why Event Temple is the Undisputed Industry Standard
Winning an award once is a trend. Winning it six years in a row is a statement.
We are proud to announce that Event Temple has once again been named the #1 Event Management Software and #1 Hotel Sales Software in the 2026 HotelTechAwards by Hotel Tech Report.
In an industry famous for rapid turnover and "flash-in-the-pan" trends, Event Temple has held the top spot since 2021. We’ve outperformed entrenched legacy providers and venture-backed upstarts alike, not because of marketing spend, but because of the only metric that matters: verified customer feedback.
Consistency is the Hardest Metric to Fake
This victory isn't about a badge on our website. It’s about trust.
As our CEO Bob Graham put it, "Winning for the sixth consecutive year proves that our commitment to modernizing hotel sales isn't just a phase... We don't just want to be the best software; we want to be the most reliable partner a hotel can choose."
While others are still patching up 20-year-old code or figuring out their support models, we have spent the last half-decade refining the machine that powers the world's best sales teams.
The 4 Pillars of a 6-Year Dynasty
Why do hoteliers vote us #1 year after year? The data from the 2026 awards points to four specific reasons where we consistently outscore the competition:
1. Ease of Use Complexity kills sales. While other systems require weeks of training, our premium design allows sales teams to go live and start booking revenue with record speed.
- What you said: "The ease of use from the beginning creation to onboarding new team members has been great. It makes reaching out to leads so easy and efficient."
2. Integratability We believe your sales software should be the hub of your tech stack, not a silo. We offer the most premium suite of integrations, connecting seamlessly with your PMS and revenue management systems to eliminate data gaps.
3. Scalability Whether you are an independent boutique or an enterprise chain, our infrastructure is architected to scale. We handle complex multi-property operations and group-wide reporting without breaking a sweat.
- What you said: "Easy to use and to switch organizations as a Chain Admin... easy to navigate between our different hotels."
4. Customer Focus This is our secret weapon. We pair best-in-class technology with a "human-first" support model. We don't just sell you software; we tailor it to fit your reality.
- What you said: "Event Temple doesn't over complicate our process... [they] tailored their solutions to fit perfectly."

Here’s to six years of growth. We’re just getting started
