November 2nd, 2023
This is a 2-4 hour activity that would be held on November 2nd in the afternoon, so the day before the event.
It is an incredible ice-breaker and networking opportunity for all participants and consists of a hosted scavenger hunt throughout Barcelona’s coolest downtown districts.
Participants will be assigned to teams of up to 10 members and will be sent on a high-tech urban adventure where they need to discover clues, face challenges, do funny activities, take creative photos and videos that will get everyone involved; all in groups up to the final destination – which may well be for example, the VRWS venue.
It will be lots of fun and an external company specialised in this kind of activity will be taking care of all this, so the result would be guaranteed and the involvement from our respective companies on the organisational part would be kept to the minimum.
We could even optionally have a prize or award for the winners and if we can allocate a 5-10 minute slot to the on stage agenda, winners could be announced on stage, a quick short teaser and hilarious video of the activity could be displayed on screen and everything would carry your Company name on it.
Pros:
- The activity will be communicated weeks/months ahead of the event, during the event and long after it, building awareness and excitement around it and giving lots of visibility and credit to the Partner Company that will back it up.
- The number of communications that will be done via social and via mailing will be higher than that of the Chiringuito Party below and will span over a longer timeframe.
- It will also be curated with a short video recalling the best moments and how cool the activity was, and the video will be aired online after the event and will be visible and accessible on the VRWS website for a year, with a constant recall to the Partner Company as the one that made all this epic experience possible.
Investment: around € 3.900 for 51-75 participants*
around € 4.500 for 76-100 participants*
around € 5.600 for 101-150 participants*
*This pricing includes travel and accommodation for the Scavenger Hunt organiser team, so it’s an estimate.
This is a 3-4 hour activity that would be held on November 2nd in the afternoon, so the day before the event.
It is a unique networking opportunity for a small group of Golf aficionados, who attend VRWS.
Details are to be defined together with the Company that will want to dig this opportunity deeper.

Investment: TBD
Status: Available
On the night before VRWS, i.e. on Nov. 2nd, we would be meeting in a charming square with cool bars to sip drinks offered by the company sponsoring the networking opportunity (if you were at VRWS on Lake Como in 2018-2019 you know what we mean). We could have this event taking place either around 20:00 o’clock or from around 22:00-22:30 o’clock; in this second case, other possible dinners organised would not be compromised and at the same time all attendees would have a reason to join us for an after dinner party.
Pros:
- On-site reach. No particular issue in organising it.
- Potential to gather the (majority) VRWS attendees already in Barcelona.
- Possible lower investment than the VRWS Scavenger hunt.
Investment: TBD
November 3rd, 2023
On the first night of VRWS, i.e. on Nov. 3rd, we would be looking for either a great bar with a stunning view over Barcelona or a Chiringuito on the beach to sip a cocktail or a drink offered by the company sponsoring the beach party. We would be printing up to 500 co-branded cards/invitations/drink vouchers that would be placed on the round tables at VRWS venue in the first morning and during VRWS opening on stage, we would be announcing the party and give credit to the Partner company that will make the event possible. So we would gather the majority if not all of VRWS attendees in one place to further network after the event in the first evening. We could have this event taking place either around 19:00 o’clock or from around 22:00-22:30 o’clock; in this second case, other possible dinners organised would not be compromised and at the same time all attendees would have a reason to join us on the beach for an after dinner party.
Pros:
- On-site reach. No particular issue in organising it.
- Potential to gather the vast majority of VRWS attendees.
- Possible lower investment than the VRWS Scavenger hunt.
Investment: TBD
November 4th, 2023
On the second night of VRWS, i.e. on Nov. 4th, we would be meeting in a charming square with cool bars to sip drinks offered by the company sponsoring the networking opportunity (if you were at VRWS on Lake Como in 2018-2019 you know what we mean). We would be printing 500 co-branded cards/invitations/drink vouchers that would be placed on the round tables at VRWS venue in the second morning and during VRWS opening on stage, we would be announcing the party and give credit to the Partner company that will make the VRWS Last Night Party possible. So we would gather the majority if not all of VRWS attendees in one place to further network after the event in the first evening. We could have this event taking place either around 20:00 o’clock or from around 22:00-22:30 o’clock; in this second case, other possible dinners organised would not be compromised and at the same time all attendees would have a reason to join us for an after dinner party.

Based on VRWS most appreciated quality, that is High-Value Networking, and following positive and constructive feedback from both attendees and Sponsoring companies on the 1st ever, highly acclaimed ROUNDTABLES new format we introduced at VRWS2021 fostering attendees strong desire for in person interaction , we’re introducing a REVISED & IMPROVED ROUNDTABLES FORMAT.
ROUNDTABLES are 50 minute Help & Support Networking Sessions, facilitated by one Professional following a check-list format provided by us.
As Facilitator you will gain access to up to 10 Attendees per Session/per Table, so while helping them out addressing their needs (and not pitching your product) and making them work together, you may gain their likes to then network further and deepen relationships during breaks and time off.
ROUNDTABLES are a new, unprecedented chance to generate high-value prospects connections for your Company, that you can then strengthen at your booth during the Summit.
This year we’re doubling down on improvements for your company and introduce SPEED-DATING!
SPEED-DATING are 2 ’60 minute’ Sessions (one per day) where you seat at a ROUNDTABLE, pitch the solution you offer to your clients (PMS-Hosts) in 60″, then each Table Participant asks you one question, so you can interact with everyone for 9 further minutes. Each Table has up to 10 attendees for 10 minutes, so you speak to multiple prospects.
At minute 10 we ring a bell, you stay at your table, attendees change tables, so you get 9 new prospects, and the process repeats.
This is done 5 times in 60 Minutes, so you have the opportunity to interact with up to “x times” 45 interested attendees (per your company representative, depending on the Sponsorship tier chosen) who picked your table and company to know more, then you can continue the conversation at the booth during VRWS.
SPEED-DATING are a new, unprecedented chance to generate high-value prospects connections for your Company, that you can then strengthen at your booth during the Summit.

What is VRWS?
Vacation Rental World Summit is the most important independent educational event in the Vacation Rental industry, gathering top performing industry experts and acknowledged professionals to share their combined knowledge with fellow peers worldwide.
Born in 2014 to answer the growing demand from our industry base for effective education on how to get more bookings, streamline workflows and maximize rental income, VRWS has grown way beyond its most daring expectations. And the reason is simple: successful owners and managers know how dynamic the VR industry is and want to stay on top of their business to ensure their rentals keep thriving year after year.
20,000+ attendees, professional managers, property owners and industry pros from 52 countries attended the Vacation Rental World Summit since 2014.
VRWS 2026 EDITION
2026 marks the 13th edition of the Vacation Rental World Summit.
To give VRWS and its attendees the perfect venue to combine quality networking, learning and value, we chose the impressive CITÉ INTERNATIONALE – CENTRE DE CONGRESS in Lyon, France!
Held in Lyon on October 8-9, 2026, and open to up to 800+ progressive industry professionals, VRWS will foster in person engagement like never before, thanks to an upgrade of its new highly acclaimed Round Table format and given the high demand for personal interaction we captured from our audience and community.
This way, we serve our mission to provide top notch in person education, networking and business opportunities among participants coming from all over Europe, the US and beyond.
What Is The Target Audience?
VRWS 2025 Attendees Split
- PMCs 100+ 34%
- PMCs 51-100 7%
- PMCs 6-50 12%
- Hosts 2%
- Suppliers 33%
- Sponsors/Other 12%
Industry professionals from throughout Europe, North America and beyond are invited to register to participate in the educational event building industry collaboration. The event is expected to draw an attendance of over 700 holiday rental professionals for two days of industry-specific education and networking.
Professional Property Managers with portfolios ranging from several thousand properties to half dozen worldwide, as well as Property Owners with a small inventory (1-5 properties) are the target audience of the Vacation Rental World Summit.

- Property managers (73%)
- Property owners (9%)
- Industry Professionals (18%)
How Many People Will Attend?
Each in person edition of VRWS has seen a steady growth in attendance due to the quality of the event, the great feedback and the word of mouth generated as a result of gathering together some of the best peers in the industry.
As in the best tradition of VRWS, the 12th edition in 2025 sold out 3 weeks before the event at 741 attendees. Sponsorship opportunities and booths sold out two months before the event and requests for both exhibiting and attending kept on coming until the very day of the event.
Regrettably, we were not able to accept all requests, so we are now asking you to be fast, unless you want to miss out on being part of the most reputable event in our industry. This is to ensure everyone gets the same high level of top-notch training, while being part of a very productive community of forward thinkers, and getting unparalleled value from an intense two days of learning, networking and fun.
Cutting edge presentations, hands-on round tables, ‘hotseat‘ group sessions, networking sessions, meetings with vendors and sponsors will all provide tangible takeaways and invaluable resources for every party involved.
It’s going to be the “Connect.Grow.Go Further” edition of the Vacation Rental World Summit that will witness all of us together for yet another 2 days of incredible networking, learning and fun.
What’s in it for you and your company as a Sponsor
Your sponsorship gives your company great value, since VRWS2026 will be an exclusive in person event reserved to 800+ highly targeted and valuable PMs and Industry Pros.
Sponsoring the Vacation Rental World Summit will give your company great exposure, visibility and the possibility to do business in person with professionals attending the event.
