There are days when your company is closed, thus not available for events. Within MICE, it is easy to block days for requests. This ensures that clients are not able to request an event via the request for proposal widget.

Pay attention! A day is blocked for clients only. Your event planners can still create events on this day.

Tip: We recommend to limit blocking days to a minimum. You will lose conversion due to clients not turning in requests while perhaps suitable alternatives can be offered.
