Thanks to everyone who joined Day 1 of the Hospitable Conference! 💜

We covered how today’s top-performing hosts are winning by being more intentional, not more complicated: treating design as a revenue strategy, building visibility through a balanced mix of OTAs and direct bookings, using cash flow and tax strategy together to accelerate long-term wealth, and evaluating mid-term rentals as a smart, market-driven complement to short-term stays.

The consistent takeaway across all sessions was clear: success now comes from knowing your guest, positioning your property deliberately, and running your rental like a professional business.

Thanks to everyone who joined Day 2!

We focused on reducing risk while increasing control:

  • How to confidently add Booking.com using stronger screening, insurance, and request-to-book tools;
  • How Airbnb’s algorithm actually works — and how pricing, quality, and popularity influence visibility;
  • How to handle guest issues and reviews more strategically under Airbnb’s updated resolution and removal process;
  • And how to take immediate, practical steps to grow direct bookings by owning your brand, guest data, and remarketing.

The shared takeaway was: the strongest operators are proactive, documented, and intentional about guest experience, platform strategy, and long-term ownership of demand.

And the Day 3 of the Hospitable Conference has been wrapped up. 💜

The last four sessions were about scaling smarter and working more intentionally:

  • How to grow from one property to many with the right systems and acquisition channels,
  • How small listing improvements can meaningfully impact visibility and conversion,
  • How AI can reduce manual work and improve guest communication when it’s set up with the right context,
  • And how thoughtful upsells can increase revenue while actually improving the guest experience.

The common theme was leverage: using tools, structure, and clarity to do less manual work while delivering more consistent results. 

More detailed session recaps and Q&A highlights are available below:
