I'm a co-founder at Stay22 (https://www.stay22.com), a Montreal-based startup that has developed a platform for users to search for places to stay (hotels & Airbnbs) around events

We provide a free solution for event organizers who are tired of doing customer service to their attendees by embedding our widget as easy as embedding a YouTube video. Other conferences have already hopped in like Traction Conf, check it out in action: http://www.tractionconf.io/accommodations

Let's just say that getting more events one by one isn't hard and our next step is to partner directly with ticket providers (SeatGeek, Ticketmaster) and do some sort of revenue share deal on accommodation sales.

I have seen a few companies that do custom apps for events.

Could you maybe partner with them? They include it in their app as an addon and you have a rev split? Win win on all sides.

I know one of the co-founders at: https://www.hellocrowd.net/

Mail me if you want an intro.
