The Short Stay Athens Conference is the largest and most specialized conference dedicated to short-term rentals in Greece and Southeast Europe. It is the official conference of Stama Greece and each year brings together professionals from across the entire market spectrum: property management companies, executives, owners, technology providers, and key decision-makers in the sector.

This year’s edition, taking place on 19–20 February at the Dais Event Venue, is structured to reflect the growing maturity of the market. It features one closed, high-level (Elite) day, followed by an open day on 20 February, dedicated to education, data, tools, and the real operational needs of day-to-day business.

Not a conference only for company owners

One of the key strengths of the Short Stay Athens Conference is that it is not aimed exclusively at company owners or top executives. Instead, it is designed to be relevant to the entire team of a modern short-term rental business.

Professionals working in marketing, guest relations, operations, revenue management, social media, and distribution will find content directly connected to their daily responsibilities — from guest experience and listing quality to the use of technology and AI to improve performance.

For larger companies, the conference also functions as a staff training investment. In an increasingly demanding market, knowledge can no longer remain concentrated solely at the management level.

Content for independent hosts

At the same time, the conference also addresses independent hosts who manage their properties on their own. Topics such as pricing, listing quality, automation, review management, and tool selection are presented in a practical, actionable way, regardless of portfolio size.

The coexistence of independent hosts and large companies creates an environment where knowledge flows in both directions.

Networking that goes beyond the typical

The Short Stay Athens Conference is also one of the most meaningful networking events in the sector. The upgraded exhibition area and parallel activities allow participants to connect with solutions providers, partners, and professionals facing similar challenges and seeking the same answers.

The Short Stay Athens Conference is not just another event. It is where the market meets, learns, collaborates, and prepares for what comes next.
