Note that you should consult the list of participating properties first (rather long).
Here are the rewards you can earn from this event promo:
It’s a win-win — rewards for you and your clients when you book a family reunion, destination wedding, global conference or special event at any of the more than 1,300 hotels and resorts participating in the SPG® program.
-
You earn a signing bonus of 1,000 Starpoints® for every 10 eligible room nights booked,up to a maximum of 100,000 Starpoints (certain limitations apply).
-
You earn matching rewards: 1 Starpoint for every US$3 of eligible group revenue, up to 20,000 Starpoints per contract — in addition to what your clients earn.
There is a separate SPG Pro promotion for bonus Starpoints for Travel Professionals that I wrote about yesterday (access here).
Conclusion
Seems that SPG Pro has two separate promotions going on for event organizers and perhaps you can choose which one better suits you
