2-Day Leadership Summit
11–12 February 2026 · Bangkok
Gather · Connect · Grow brings Asia’s short-term rental leaders into one room — not to observe, but to participate.
This is a curated, leadership-level summit for those actively shaping the STR sector across Asia: professional operators, founders, platforms, associations, investors, and partners working at scale.
Across two focused days, the room engages in real conversations grounded in regional data, lived operating realities, and practical experience. The emphasis is on dialogue over presentation, collaboration over commentary, and building what comes next — together.
If you are actively involved in short-term rentals in Asia, this is where the conversation happens.
A Summit Defined by Its Delegates
From the outset, Gather · Connect · Grow was built differently.
Delegates who confirmed their seats early were invited into the final stage of shaping the 2026 programme — contributing directly to the curation and validation of speakers, topics, and sessions. This ensures that every voice on stage reflects Asia’s realities, Asia’s talent, and Asia’s operating context.
Their role is simple and powerful:
to help ensure the programme educates, challenges, and advances the region.
This is the first STR leadership summit in Asia where the community itself helps guide who takes the stage — not external agendas, not imported templates.
Together with the Founder Circle, the programme speaks directly to operators, innovators, and partners working across Asia today.
Built in Asia. For Asia.
Defined by the people in the room.
