HOST 2019: Leaders & Pioneers share their knowledge at the first event for Rentalpreneurs!

Since the advent of Airbnb, rentalpreneurs (holiday property/properties renters) have become a big industry, whose value is expected to rise to $170 billion by 2020. The market’s high potential and desperate need for coordination triggered the creation of HOST,  the very first event for the rentalpreneurs and holiday rental community.

HOST started with the vision to become the leading event in Europe for rentalpreneurs and Holiday Rental Operators, giving them the opportunity to attend workshops curated by revenue-driving experts from huge companies like Google, Marriott, Expedia, and HomeAway.

Of course, this is not an event just for rentalpreneurs and hosts, but also for vacation rentals, holiday villas, small to medium hospitality, big hospitality, and hotels. So far so good, but you might be wondering by now “what am I going to get out all of this?”.

It’s also expected to be visited by 2,000+ high-quality attendees of the industry, which could become valuable assets for your company. This is surely a huge number considering that it’s the first time that this event takes place, and we are currently 2 months before its opening date.
