What is VRWS?

Vacation Rental World Summit is the most important independent online – and since 2016 also in person educational event in the Vacation Rental industry, gathering top-performing industry experts and acknowledged professionals to share their combined knowledge with peers worldwide.

Born in 2014 to answer the growing demand from our industry base for effective education on how to get more bookings, streamline workflows and maximize rental income, VRWS has grown way beyond its most daring expectations. And the reason is simple: successful owners and managers know how dynamic the VR industry is and want to stay on top of their business to ensure their rentals keep thriving year after year.

18,000+ attendees, professional managers and property owners from 54 countries attended the first six editions of the Vacation Rental World Summit.

How Many Seats Are Available?

Covid-19 left a pretty big number of casualties on the ground: travel restrictions, social distancing, bans, businesses gone bust, and the road to recovery not yet fully set; so we expect to have about 250-300 attendees, but we’re flexible given circumstances and may have to reduce numbers according to what regulations will require.

Cutting edge presentations, hands-on workshops, ‘hotseat‘ group sessions, networking sessions, meetings with vendors and sponsors will all provide tangible takeaways and invaluable resources for every party involved.

“What the big companies don’t tell you“, “The real statistics“, “What’s coming next“, “Sell or Struggle on?” are just some of the presentation tempters we’ll be unleashing. It’s going to be the best Vacation Rental World Summit ever.

One of the “positive” side effects of Covid-19 is the possibility for you to access VRWS from the comfort of your home, anywhere you are in the world! So this year VRWS has both the in-person version – which is highly acclaimed by all those who’ve been taking part over the years and also unlimited spaces available for online attendance!

Our tech platform ensures everyone gets the same high level of top-notch training, feels being part of a very productive community of forward thinkers, and perceives unparalleled value from an intense weekend of learning, networking, and growing.

And you get all recorded content included for life! So if you miss a session, you can watch it at leisure.
