The Power of Showing Up: Why Your Future Self Will Thank You for Joining the STR Virtual Summit for Women 2026

When is your CEO time? Which hours have you blocked off in 2026 for working on your business? And when that time comes, what will you be working on? What’s your strategy? 

And if, during that time, you have bookings that need managing, or turnovers that need coordinating, or guest messages that need answering (sometimes at 10 PM)…will you have a plan for those, so that you can stay focused on your CEO time? How’s your personal life gonna look while you’re handling all that?

Your business will only grow as much as you do. If you’re ready to stop playing small and start scaling with intention, you need a CEO plan, so that your CEO time isn’t wasted. And for that to happen…you need to be in the room where it happens. That is exactly why I am so fired up about the STR Virtual Summit for Women 2026. This isn’t just another Zoom meeting; it’s a catalyst for the next chapter of your hospitality journey.

Why Virtual is the New Way to Level Up

I know what you’re thinking. “Stacey, you’re telling me to commit to my CEO time… how do I find time for a summit?” The beauty of the STR Virtual Summit for Women 2026 is that it was designed by busy women, for busy women. So, I’ve got your back, chica.

You don’t need to book a flight. You don’t need to find a sitter or worry about the laundry piling up while you’re at a hotel conference center. You can soak up world-class brilliance from your home office (or your couch – no judgment here!).

However, don’t let the “virtual” tag fool you. The energy, the connection, and the breakthrough moments are as real as it gets. When women in this industry come together to share their wins and their “war stories,” magic happens.

What to Expect at the STR Virtual Summit for Women 2026

We aren’t just talking about “fluff” or basic hosting tips you can find in a Facebook group. We’re diving deep into the strategies that actually move the needle in today’s market. We’re talking about how to strategically acquire new properties, how to drive direct bookings, how to build a recognizable brand, how to create systems and dial in operations – and SO much more.

According to recent industry reports from VRM Intel, the short-term rental landscape is becoming more professionalized by the day. To stay competitive, you need more than just a nice property; you need a rock-solid business foundation.

During the summit, you’ll gain access to:

  • Expert-Led Masterclasses: Learn from the women who are leading the way in property management and investment.
  • Actionable Tech Stacks: Discover the tools that will automate your business so you can get your time back.
  • Market Resilience Strategies: Learn how to thrive even when the economy or local regulations shift.

Building Community During the STR Virtual Summit for Women 2026

One of the most powerful parts of this experience is the community. Short-term rental hosting can feel like a lonely island sometimes. Your neighbors might not get it, and your friends might think you “just clean houses for a living.”

But when you join the STR Virtual Summit for Women 2026, you are instantly plugged into a sisterhood of high-achievers. These are women who understand the “Sunday Scaries” of a last-minute cancellation and the thrill of hitting a revenue goal you once thought was impossible.

We are better together. When we share our resources and lift each other up, the entire industry rises. This summit is your chance to find your “biz besties” and your future collaborators.

Your Seat is Waiting

Decision-making is a muscle. The most successful hosts I know are the ones who decide to invest in themselves before they feel “ready.” They don’t wait for a slow season to learn; they learn so that they never have a slow season.

The STR Virtual Summit for Women 2026 is your invitation to step into your power as a business owner. It’s time to stop “hosting” and start leading.

Are you coming? Grab your ticket & I’ll see you there February 4-6th, 2026.
