Unleash Your Bold at VRNation 2025

We’re shaking things up at the 2025 VRNation Annual Vacation Rental Conference.  The theme, “Out with the Old, In with the Bold,” is more than just a slogan—it’s a call to action for vacation rental professionals who are ready to break away from the ordinary and embrace new, innovative strategies.

This isn’t your typical conference. We’re turning the traditional event format on its head with engaging sessions, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities that will leave you inspired, energized, and ready to take your business to the next level.

This year, our keynote speaker encapsulates the spirit of being bold and unapologetically different, challenging norms and inspiring us to break through boundaries in ways we never thought possible.

Known as the real-life Wizard of Oz, Steve Sims is the visionary founder of the world’s first luxury concierge service, Bluefish, which served ultra-high-net-worth clients and ultimately attracted the attention of American Express, who acquired the business. A bold, best-selling author and sought-after speaker, Sims is celebrated for his unorthodox methods and fearless approach to achieving the “impossible” for his clients. Attendees at the VRNation conference will be inspired by his groundbreaking insights into innovation and redefining limits, making him the perfect keynote speaker for a conference committed to doing things differently.
