What Makes This Event Unique?
Unlike any VRMA event before, Foundations was built specifically for frontline staff. With a workshop-style approach and smaller group format, the event fosters deeper collaboration, targeted training, and space to tackle real-world challenges.
Who Should Attend Foundations?
Everyone! But more specifically, everyone who plays a role in the operations of short-term vacation rentals. With three tracks, there is targeted training for your whole team.
- Field Track – Maintenance, housekeeping, and inspections staff
- Office Track – Frontline guest services staff and reservations specialists
- Team Track – Emerging leaders, operations managers, and supervisors
Managers and frontline teams should attend together. Why? Because when you learn together, you grow together—building a stronger, more effective team.
