operators

The room is the product

Operators managing 10+ units, tech founders, revenue managers — everyone in the room is building something real in Fest's STR market.

Market-specific

Built for Fest, not generic

Local regulations, local pricing dynamics, local partnerships. Every talk and workshop is calibrated to what matters in Fest right now.

ROI-first

The ticket pays for itself

The right idea, the right connection or the right opportunity can deliver far more value than the cost of attending. That's the return on investment we aim to create at every Scale event.
