We’re in the mad rush of what some call ‘conference season.’ Couple that with the high cost of hotel rooms in most major business cities and more desire from travellers for the comforts of home when on the road. What do you get? Stress.
Many companies have strict policies for expenses while travelling for work, limiting how much employees can spend on lodging. This is especially challenging when conferences lead to inflated hotel prices. So, what’s the solution? More and more companies and employees are turning to options, such as Airbnb, for conferences and industry events.
The Airbnb for Work team took a look at the remaining top business conferences for 2018 and has a number of homes, apartments, and condos for business travelers looking for a true ‘home base’ in the coming months.
From Barcelona (Mobile World Congress) to Brisbane (Global Forum for Innovations in Agriculture), here are some of the most-attended global conferences, along with some of the most wish listed listings from the Work Collection, including Airbnb Plus homes, as well as a few unique, boutique hotels listed on Airbnb.
