Hospitable launches free conference and coaching initiatives

In a move to reshape how short-term rental (STR) hosts learn and scale, Hospitable has announced two new, free initiatives set to connect hosts directly with those who truly understand their day-to-day challenges: fellow STR owners and property managers.

Pierre-Camille Hamana, Founder & CEO of Hospitable, said: “While the short-term rental world has no shortage of software or expert advice, nothing compares to hearing from hosts who’ve been in the trenches. We’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be when hosts connect and learn from one another, and believe that the most impactful way to elevate the entire vacation rental ecosystem is to connect hosts with each other. By putting hosts in the spotlight and creating opportunities for them to share their stories, strategies, and lessons, we’re building a community rooted in real-world expertise.”

“Host to Host: A Short-Term Rental Mastermind” will take place on 28th-29th January, 5-8pm ET.

Later this month, the vacation rental management platform will present “Host to Host: A Short-Term Rental Mastermind”, a two-day, entirely virtual conference where only hosts take the stage. In a bid to break away from the STR industry’s traditional reliance on vendor-driven advice – which is often disconnected from the realities of running a vacation rental – this event offers attendees an unfiltered look at the successes, setbacks, and strategies of hosts who have built successful businesses across platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Agoda, and direct booking channels.

The conference spans eight 45-minute sessions, each diving into critical topics like onboarding and designing properties, leveraging social media for direct bookings, and incorporating AI to streamline operations. Each session also concludes with an open Q&A, allowing participants to ask unfiltered questions and receive practical answers directly from those experiencing property management firsthand.

In tandem with the conference, Hospitable is rolling out “Your Host Mentor”, a free coaching hub featuring bite-sized video tutorials led by top-performing STR operators. These tutorials provide behind-the-scenes looks at how hosts tackle challenges like guest communication, multi-channel distribution, and revenue optimization, while also offering guidance on how to maximize Hospitable’s platform. These videos not only provide step-by-step guidance, but also offer a springboard for hosts looking to engage directly with contributors—whether through one-on-one mentorship, social media Q&As, or additional paid services.

By linking new and experienced hosts, Hospitable aims to foster a genuine culture of knowledge-sharing that empowers hosts at every stage of their journey.
