24-25 February 2027

Bangkok

Leadership Summits bring together the founders, regulators, associations, technology leaders, and institutional partners shaping the future of short-term rentals across Asia.

These gatherings focus on the structural questions facing the sector:

• Regulation and policy alignment
• Professional standards and accreditation
• Technology and data transparency
• Institutional investment and consolidation
• Regional collaboration between destinations

Leadership Summits are designed as delegate-first working rooms, where the goal is not simply discussion but alignment and outcomes for the sector.

The first Leadership Summit was held in Bangkok in February 2026, bringing together operators and leaders from across Asia to establish a shared voice for the sector.

Those conversations now continue through the STRA platform including the development of trust frameworks, accreditation models and regional collaboration initiatives.
