Webinar Overview

Airbnb is tightening control - and professional hosts are feeling the squeeze. Off-platform messaging is being restricted. Payouts are getting delayed. The 'Strict' cancellation policy is gone. For property managers, that means direct hits to guest communication, cash flow, and operational flexibility.

In this webinar, we’ll break down what’s changing, why it matters, and how to adapt without losing control of your business. Hear from operators and tech leaders already navigating the shift, and walk away with real-world strategies you can put into action right away.
