 FAQs

  • The event itself will be free. Airbnb will take care of breakfast and lunch each day as well as all programming and extracurricular events. Hosts will be responsible for their transportation to San Francisco and lodging. We will have a discounted rate available through one of our HotelTonight partners.

  • We will have an optional welcome event on Tuesday, September 30th. We recommend arriving either Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. We will have full days of programming on Wednesday (10/1) and Thursday (10/2) as well as an evening awards ceremony on Thursday (10/2). We recommend departing on Friday, 10/3. 

  • At this summit, you'll gain insights from Airbnb leaders, discover new tools and strategies for success, and network with fellow Hosts across North America.

  • Given the size constraints that we have for our inaugural year, we are restricting invitations to one per account. Unfortunately, this means that co-workers and/or spouses will not be able to attend. We hope to grow the event in the future and invite more of our Hosts!

  • To ensure the most diverse Host representation, we selected Hosts based on region, size, quality, supply type, and overall engagement.

  • This is an invite-only event and invitations are not transferrable. If you are unable to attend, please let your Market Manager know and we will select another Host from a pre-approved list. 

  • Not all Market Managers will be attending this event. We will have a handful of Market Managers from around the country in attendance, but not all of them. We will share which Market Managers will be attending as we get closer to the event.

  • Yes! Please note your dietary and/or accessibility requirements on the RSVP form and we will ensure we can accommodate you.
