2019 Vacation Rental Data and Revenue Management Conference Photos and Videos
The first Vacation Rental Data and Revenue Management Conference is in the books, and we wanted to share some photos from the event along with an opportunity for those who missed itt to purchase the videos.
Throughout the two days—we were hoping to find out where our industry stands regarding data and revenue management, and to be able to differentiate between the offerings of new and established tech providers. I think by the end of the show, we were able to accomplish these objectives. We also wanted to get on the same page with the metric definitions and KPI labels, and I think we are getting closer there, too.
