How it works
The conference typically spans several days and is held in a different city each year, usually in the fall. Attendees can register for various tracks of educational sessions covering topics like marketing, operations, technology, and legal compliance.
A large exhibition hall allows vendors, including vacation rental software providers like Lodgify, to showcase new products and services. Keynote presentations from industry leaders and formal networking events are integral parts of the conference schedule, facilitating connections among thousands of professionals.

For suppliers, it's a key opportunity to exhibit their offerings to a targeted audience. The event plays a crucial role in shaping industry standards, advancing professional education, and building a sense of community among short-term rental professionals.
