The STR sector in Asia doesn’t need more noise.

It needs real operational knowledge, trusted connections, and practical growth strategies.

The GCG Operator Summit is designed for:

• Professional property managers 
• Operator teams (revenue, operations, guest experience) 
• Technology partners supporting STR growth 
• Developers and service providers entering the sector
   

This is where real operators share what works.

No exhibition halls.
No passive audiences.

This is a working room.

• Interactive workshops & masterclass roundtables
• Operator-led panels 
• Small group roundtables 
• Direct conversations with partners 

Every session is designed to deliver practical, usable outcomes.

The GCG Operator Summit is designed for leaders and their teams actively building and operating short-term rental businesses and destinations across Asia.

STR Operators & Property Managers

Companies managing villas, apartments and alternative accommodation seeking operational insights, partnerships and growth strategies.

Experience & Tour Operators

Businesses providing local tours, excursions and guest experiences that complement short-term rental stays.

Real Estate Developers

Developers exploring or expanding into professionally managed short-term rental and branded residence models.

Tourism Boards & Destination Leaders

Local government and tourism authorities supporting responsible growth in the alternative accommodation sector.

Technology & Industry Partners

Platforms and service providers supporting operators with property management systems, revenue optimisation, distribution and operational tools.

 The Gather · Connect · Grow Operator Summit is intentionally limited to 220 delegates.   This is not a large conference.It is a curated working summit designed to bring together the people actively building and operating the short-term rental ecosystem across Asia.

The value comes from who is in the room.

The summit brings together a carefully balanced mix of:

• Professional property managers and STR operators 
• Tour and experience providers connected to guest stays 
• Real estate developers exploring professionally managed STR models 
• Tourism leaders and destination stakeholders 
• Technology partners supporting operators with tools and infrastructure  

By limiting participation, conversations remain practical, relevant and actionable. Operators can engage directly with peers, partners and decision-makers rather than navigating a crowded exhibition floor.

The room is intentionally structured to ensure operators remain at the centre of the discussion, with technology and industry partners present to support meaningful collaboration.

The result is a gathering designed for real connections, practical insights and partnerships that extend beyond the summit itself.
