VRMA International 2025 is in the books and if you were there, you probably felt it too: this year hit differently.
More people, deeper conversations, and a sense that the vacation rental industry is entering a new chapter. But what actually stuck after the applause faded?
In this episode, Alex & Annie sit down with Tim Rosolio, Ela Mezhiborsky, and Jessica Gillingham to reflect on what stood out most, not just from the sessions, but from the conversations around the show.
From global distribution shifts and OTA quality standards to how AI is reshaping operations, trust, and discoverability, this is a candid look at what’s changing and what it means for property managers on the ground.
We discuss:
1️⃣ The state of global distribution with Tim Rosolio
2️⃣ Trust, verification, and real-world AI risks with Ela Mezhiborsky
3️⃣ Marketing visibility and the future of discoverability with Jessica Gillingham
Whether you joined the crowd in Vegas or followed along from afar, this conversation will catch you up on the bigger picture.
