An inspiring few days at the Airbnb Host Summit 2026 last month 🏡🌟
Grateful to have been one of 300 hosts from across Australia and New Zealand invited to connect, learn and hear firsthand what’s next for the short-stay accommodation industry.
From exciting new AI features to strategies driving guest demand, it was a valuable opportunity to gain insights from industry leaders across Airbnb, SiteMinder, Guesty, Resly and more.
One message that really resonated came from Samantha Lawson, Chief Product Officer at SiteMinder:
“Be AI native, but human enriched.”
Coming from someone leading AI strategy at that level, it’s inspiring. Automate the admin, protect the heart of hospitality. That's exactly how we approach every property we manage at Sublime Experiences.
Technology can help us work smarter, but it's the personal touches, genuine connections and exceptional hospitality that make a stay truly memorable.
Congratulations to all the award nominees and winners, and thank you to Airbnb for bringing together such a passionate community of hosts.
Plenty of valuable insights to put into practice as we continue creating Sublime experiences for our guests and property owners! 🌟
