About Us

The Book Direct Show is the unmissable event dedicated to short-term rentals managers, hoteliers, serviced apartment providers and B&B owners seeking more direct bookings.

The 2022 conference moves to Miami for its fourth edition having previously being hosted in London and once online. Over 1,000 property managers have joined us both in-person and online from 29 countries.

Completely Independent - No OTA Involvement

The Book Direct Show is produced by a small team of independent property managers and industry experts. There is no outside influence by major online travel agents (OTAs).

Our sole aim is to provide you with unbiassed, actionable education helping you to achieve more direct bookings.

Join us in 2022.
