EDITOR'S COMMENT
• We have been delighted with the response to our first-ever ShortTermRentalz Summit last week as industry leaders and innovators gathered to address the key topics and questions facing the short-term rental segment and how it is positioned in the wider travel, hospitality and real estate landscape.
Notable companies speaking at the Summit included Booking.com, Awaze, Hopper, AB Bernstein, Beyond, Thayer Ventures, DC Advisory, VTrips, NUMA and many more.
For those who didn't attend the in-person event, check out our key takeaways here on topics such as regulations, M&A and investment, sustainable hospitality, inventory growth, and the next hybrid flex rental opportunity. Presentations can be downloaded via our agenda page at this link and the recordings of four sessions will also be released very shortly.
• This week is also one of the most exciting ones in the short-term rental calendar and I'm excited to be representing ShortTermRentalz at this week's VRMA International Conference in Orlando along with my colleague, and our head of growth at STRz, Jordan Ashford. We're looking forward to making new connections and reconnecting with familiar faces, and I hope you'll also be able to attend a session I'm moderating on 'Gaining a global perspective'.
• Our next webinar is next Tuesday 31 October as we host an Urban Living overview of the Middle East & Africa [MEA] market, featuring leaders from One Perfect Stay, Silkhaus, mr.alfred and Knight Frank. Book your no-cost virtual seat here.
