The video above is from my brief presentation at VRTech Rome. Thanks to Vanessa and the team from Rentals United for inviting me and allowing this little man inside this little theater.
The word "community" gets thrown around a lot these days, and it's almost always used in a positive, inclusive, and necessary light: "reaching out to your community" is almost always an effective way to solve your vacation rental problem.

But here's the challenge: Airbnb's community is totally different from the Community by HomeAway, which is totally different from our actual community (where we live), which is totally different the broader vacation rental community in which we work. None of these definitions are better or worse than others. But varying definitions can cause community confusion -- this confusion can even lose community some of its luster.
Not long ago, I received an invitation from Vanessa Souza Lage, the brainchild of VRTech (an organization designed to unite technology providers in our industry) to speak at the Cinema dei Piccoli in Rome -- this gorgeous minitheater located inside one of Rome's loveliest public parks.
