COMING SOON IN 2026 – HOST PLANET ROADSHOW
A new kind of STR event.
Real conversation. Real connections. Real Impact.
Join the UK’s biggest short-term rental event series in Cornwall, Portsmouth, London, Nottingham, Bath, Chester, and Edinburgh throughout next year.
Host Planet, the fastest-growing multimedia platform dedicated to the short-term rental (STR) industry, has announced the Host Planet Roadshow 2026, a seven-stop UK event series designed to educate, inspire, and connect STR hosts, holiday let owners, property managers, and industry professionals.
Forget endless sales pitches and crowded expo halls. The roadshow will bring practical training, expert insights, and valuable networking to some of the UK’s most active holiday let markets. It will be a curated, roundtable experience designed for meaningful conversations between STR hosts, property managers, industry suppliers, and key influencers.
A broad range of industry topics
Each Host Planet Roadshow event will cover a wide spectrum of subjects relevant to today’s STR professionals. From market insights and revenue strategies to guest experience, operations, technology, regulation, and sustainability, the sessions are designed to deliver practical takeaways for hosts, property managers, suppliers, and industry partners. With contributions from experts across multiple fields, no two events will be the same – ensuring fresh perspectives and ideas at every location.
What to expect?
- Roundtable networking with purpose: Meaningful conversations that go beyond surface-level sales chats. Every attendee will rotate through curated sessions, giving everyone a chance to connect.
- No-pitch knowledge sharing: Every sponsor, exhibitor, and speaker will focus on insightful 10-minute knowledge bursts – not sales presentations.
- Shape the conversation in your market: Each event will bring together not just hosts and managers, but also politicians, trade bodies, media, and major brands, ensuring that local challenges are heard – and solutions are discussed.
- Outcomes board and post-event impact report: The Roadshows will capture ideas, challenges, and action points during every event. These insights will feed into a post-event impact report shared with attendees, partners, and industry stakeholders – ensuring conversations don’t end when the event does.
Why attend?
- Meet targeted STR partners and suppliers ready to support your business.
- Engage in genuine conversations that focus on growth and sustainability.
- Shape the future of the STR industry in your local market and nationally.
- Be part of a growing Host Planet community of like-minded professionals.
