Short-Term Rental Conferences & Industry Events

Large events with confirmed 2027 dates include EXPOHOST in Bogotá (7–8 October, which advertises 8,000+ attendees), the VRMA International Conference in Denver (24–26 October), VRNation in Austin (26–28 April), the Short Stay Summit in London (21 April, which drew 1,300+ people in 2026) and the IMN Short-Term Rental Winter Forum in Miami (1–2 February). Attendance figures are the organisers’ own.

STRive to Thrive Australia is in Melbourne on 10–11 March 2027, STRive to Thrive New Zealand is in Auckland on 16–17 March 2027, and STRive to Thrive Indonesia is in Bali on 8–9 September 2027. Each event page has ticket and speaker information.

Regional and hands-on events such as the Host Planet Roadshow in the UK, the STR UNconference in Nashville, the Poconos STR Conference and ALP Unlocked suit hosts and smaller operators. Professional property managers often look at SCALE, VRNation, the VRMA International Conference and the Vacation Rental World Summit. The IMN forums focus on investors, lenders and larger operators.

Yes. In 2027 there are STRA Summit in Adelaide (9–11 March), STRive to Thrive Australia in Melbourne (10–11 March), STRive to Thrive New Zealand in Auckland (16–17 March) and STRive to Thrive Indonesia in Bali (8–9 September). The two Australian events overlap on 10–11 March, so plan which one to attend.

Start with your role (host, property manager, investor or supplier), then your region and budget. Check for date clashes, such as the Australian events in March or VRMA and VTSTRA in late October. Smaller events tend to offer more direct networking, while larger expos offer broader exhibitor reach.

We update the list as organisers announce dates. Some established events, such as several SCALE editions and the VRMA Executive Summit, have no 2027 date yet and will be added once confirmed. Always check the organiser’s website before booking travel or tickets.
