VRMA International 2024 is a wrap, and wow—what a ride it was! From October 14-17, vacation rental pros from across the globe gathered in Phoenix, and Streamline was right at the heart of the action.
Whether we were breaking down industry trends or throwing an unforgettable rooftop bash, we made sure to pack every moment with value, fun, and innovation. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and recap all the highlights from our time at VRMA.
A Battle of the Best: PMS Showdown
Kyle Holmes led the charge in the “Software Showdown: How to Pick Your MVPms from a Stacked Field of PMS Prospects.” With so many PMS options out there, choosing the right one can feel like a high-stakes draft pick. But Kyle delivered a winning playbook, showing exactly why Streamline is the undisputed champ when it comes to all-in-one vacation rental management software.
Attendees left buzzing about the tips and tricks to picking the best PMS for their business—and, of course, why Streamline checks all the boxes for explosive growth, smooth operations, and unmatched support.
Lasso the Stars: The Rooftop Party Everyone’s Still Talking About
You know we love to mix business with a little fun, and our Lasso the Stars rooftop party didn’t disappoint! Hosted at the Skyline Terrace at the Phoenix Renaissance, this exclusive event was the place to be.
With over 650 attendees, a 40lb grouper and carving station, live music from Harry Luge, a DIY cowboy hat bar (yes, really!), a mechanical bull, and sweeping city views, it was the perfect combination of high-end and honky-tonk!
Stay tuned for all the event photos that will be posted soon!
HUB Session: Embrace the Power of the Right Software Switch
Jared Paglialonga took the stage for an engaging HUB session, showing how switching to the right PMS can be worth the growing pains when trying to scale your business. “Embrace the Power of a Software Switch” was all about making the smart move to a system that keeps up with your growth needs, making it so you’ll never have to switch software again!
Whether attendees were struggling with outdated tech or simply curious about what’s out there, they walked away knowing that Streamline is the software solution that’s built to propel businesses forward.
Jared’s session was packed with practical advice on optimizing operations, enhancing the guest experience, and using cutting-edge tech to supercharge revenue.
The Innovation Station: Streamline’s Booth Was Buzzing!
Booth #809—aka *The Innovation Station*—was the place to be for anyone serious about leveling up their vacation rental business. The StreamTeam was on hand to demo our latest game-changing features, from StreamAI to revenue management, and to explain how Streamline takes the guesswork out of property management.
We got to chat with so many of you about the unique challenges you’re facing, and our favorite part? Hearing how Streamline’s solutions are already helping vacation rental businesses like yours grow faster and smarter.
What We Learned at VRMA International 2024
VRMA International is always the ultimate meetup for vacation rental leaders, and this year was no different. Here are some of the top takeaways from our time at the conference:
- The future is here, and it’s data-driven: We saw an overwhelming interest in tools that harness the power of data for everything from pricing optimization to guest satisfaction. It’s clear that the future of vacation rental management is powered by actionable insights—and Streamline’s got your back on that front.
- The right partners make all the difference: Whether it’s your PMS provider or your channel partners, having the right support system is crucial for long-term success. Streamline’s commitment to being more than just software was a key theme in every conversation we had.
- The vacation rental community is the best industry: Our Lasso the Stars party reminded us that, sometimes, the best ideas come from casual conversations over cocktails. Whether you’re forming new partnerships or just swapping tips with fellow property managers, these connections are where magic happens.
