VRWS 2026 On Stage Sessions

OCT. 8th (DAY 1)

OCT. 9th (DAY 2)

ROUNDTABLES: 2026 FORMAT HIGHLIGHT

Based on VRWS most appreciated quality, that is High-Value Networking, and following positive and constructive feedback from both attendees and Sponsoring companies on the 1st ever, highly acclaimed ROUNDTABLES new format we introduced at VRWS2021 fostering attendees strong desire for in person interaction , we’re introducing a REVISED & IMPROVED ROUNDTABLES FORMAT.

ROUNDTABLES are 50 minute Help & Support Networking Sessions, facilitated by one Professional following a check-list format provided by us. You will interact with your colleagues at a far greater level than ever before at any industry event, share your struggles and receive help from your peers; you’ll get to know how others do what you do/don’t do, so you can improve where needed.

SPEED-DATING: NEW HIGHLIGHT

For the past years, we’ve been taking networking to the next level with the launch of VRWS Speed-Dating — a powerful way to make sure you meet exactly the right people during the event.

Through the VRWS App, all attendees will be able to schedule meetings in advance during two dedicated 60-minute Speed-Dating sessions (one per day), held immediately before the 2-hour lunch break.

Because these sessions flow directly into lunch, conversations can naturally extend for up to 3 hours per day, giving you time to turn quick meetings into real business discussions.

During Speed-Dating, you can book one-to-one or small-group meetings with Exhibitors, Sponsors, VRWS Partners and other attendees.

All meetings are arranged directly inside the app, allowing you to select exactly who you want to meet, when, and for how long. The App will be released about 2 weeks prior to the event and will remain available for two weeks after the event.

This format removes randomness from networking. Instead of hoping to run into the right people, you arrive with a pre-built meeting agenda, ensuring that every minute of your time is focused on meaningful, high-value conversations.

VRWS Speed-Dating is designed to help you:

  • Maximize your time at the event

  • Meet the most relevant companies and peers for your business

  • Start relationships that you can then deepen at exhibitor booths, over lunch, or throughout the rest of VRWS

It is one of the most powerful tools we have ever introduced to make sure every attendee leaves VRWS with real connections, real opportunities, and real results.

WHAT IS THE VACATION RENTAL WORLD SUMMIT

VRWS started as a simple idea in 2013: connecting the global VR Community – Hosts, Property Managers & Industry Pros – through an independent conference to help attendees understand what’s coming, how to get more bookings, streamline workflows and maximize rental income.

The first online editions gathered 15,000+ attendees from 5 continents and 50 countries. Many pros improved their business through the advice shared at the event.

This led to the big leap and VRWS landed on physical grounds from the 3rd edition: Barcelona (2016), Florence (2017), Lake Como (2018-2019)  a digital-only edition in 2020 due to the Pandemic, Annecy (2021), Porto (2022), Barcelona (2023), Porto again (2024), Rome (2025) and now Lyon for the 2026 edition.
