SCALE SHOW 2023

Barcelona · May 17-18, 2023

Scale Show 2023 has been the second edition of our main show, but officially the fourth event in a row since its debut in May 2022.

In 2023 the conference was structured in two days, the first dedicated to professional short-term rental businesses managing between 25 and 50 units, and the second to well-established companies with a portfolio of +50 units.

Key themes we covered in 2023 included AI (Francois Gouelo and Evan Dolgow), data trends (Jamie Lane and Kristina Sprindyte) Exit Strategies (Richard Vaughton and Ivan Givelet), profitability (Ezio Albanese), PR (Jessica Gillingham), property acquisition (Heather Bayer), property management systems, OTAs, owner relationships, regulation changes (Viktorija Molnar, EHHA, Marco Celani, Enrique Alcantara), technology (John An), and much more.

TESTIMONIALS FROM SCALE SHOW 2023

What They Said

Top events on the market, great networking, unique content! A "must" if you want to scale the STR market

Guido Foraci
<Sales Director Italianway/>

Scale Rentals was an amazing opportunity. As property managers, this was our first property management conference we have attended and we couldn't have chose a more beneficial conference. We met a lot of our partners we are working with and had the opportunity to meet with lots of new vendors. Everyone at the show was incredibly friendly and the lay out and schedule was perfectly organised. We would recommend this show for all property managers!

It was our first time and we really liked meeting other PM's and get to know the top industry supplier for softwares in person, also softwares we did not know about.

Amazing organization and great content, I would have appreciated just 2 rooms so we won’t have missed many interested speaker at the same time!

There is always a buzz in the air at Scale Rentals - the secret sauce is found in the combination of global attendees, quality content and an excellent venue with ample food and drink on offer. I will be booking my ticket for next year shortly!

we're still digesting the excitement of learning and networking with the top professionals of the holiday rental world. We had the immense honor of sharing experiences and knowledge with fellow managers and it was ever so enriching.

Daniela Derin
<Property Manager Skol Apartments Marbella/>

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, nothing makes the work feel more 'real' than meeting the people in it, and so I am always grateful for the opportunity to meet peers, friends, and mentors. A huge thanks to the presenters for putting together sessions that were informative, invigorating, thought-provoking, often all at once! Thanks also to the Scale Rental and Scale Luxury teams for smoothly pulling off a thoroughly engaging event.

Fantastic informative day at World Trade Center Barcelona for the Scale Rentals show. Talking about legislation and regulation and how it affects the businesses in our sector and the thousands of jobs that rely on them. Great meeting the CEO’s of other associations around Europe & the world and sharing best practice.
