Our first workshop of the year marks the start of the next phase of Short Stay Circle.

This session brings Airbnb insight and interior design expertise together to focus on the decisions shaping guest experience and booking behaviour.

This Short Stay Circle workshop is a high-impact, insight-driven working session for short-stay operators making strategic decisions about how their properties are designed, positioned and experienced by guests.

Bringing together Airbnb platform insight with leading interior and design expertise, the session focuses on how layout, interiors and design-led decisions influence guest perception, reviews and booking behaviour. It’s where guest expectation, commercial performance and design execution come together clearly, decisively and with real-world context.

During this powerful session, you’ll hear directly from three experts shaping how short-stay homes are chosen and experienced:

• Ghadi Achkar, Territory Manager at Airbnb: sharing platform-level insight into guest expectations, booking behaviour and what influences choice today
• Michelle Kadora, Founder of Lavi Zil: offering a strategic perspective on interior decisions that balance impact, longevity and commercial value in short-stay homes
• Sandra Fadayel, Founder of Inhabitat: bringing a designer’s lens to layout, flow and spatial decisions that shape first impressions and guest experience

The session is deliberately interactive, fast-moving and grounded in real scenarios, keeping the conversation sharp, relevant and commercially useful.
