      <title>How Conference Hotels Win More MICE RFPs</title>

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Conference hotels win more corporate MICE RFPs when they are listed where companies buy their events, keep their property profile complete and answer each request fast and exactly as asked. Corporate meetings and events are increasingly bought through procurement platforms, and a hotel that is part of that process gains RFPs in addition to those from its own sales activities.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
