Delayed Early Registration because Airbnb wants the registration site to be "as complete as possible when it goes live." Additional speakers/talent will continue to be announced after registration, but they really "want hosts to know what they're receiving if they choose to join and register.
Additionally, they chose the word "festival" because as attendees of AO14 and AO15 can attest, this meeting "connects with our hearts and souls.....as well as being educational and fun.....for hosts from more than 100 countries." I, myself, recall "feeling" the energy and connection in that big hall on the wharf in SF for AO14.
I recommend that all of you find the New York Times article by Freda Moon dated June 10, 2016 "36 Hours in Los Angeles" for an idea of what opportunities abound for attendees. As a native Californian, even I am excited to explore the "new" LA.
As for the food and beverage being offered, as many prior attendees can agree upon, we would like choices. Airbnb has heard our comments and has come up with a way to satisfy the wide variety of tastes with options - ergo, the food vendors. There will continue to be food and beverage provided at a number of the events, i.e., Thursday Open House dinners in hosts' homes, banquets etc. on Friday night throughout LA - just like always.
Suffice it to say, Airbnb has our best interests at heart and are creating an event this year that we all will remember for a lifetim Remember, early registration is now July 12, Tuesday morning. My personal advice is "don't hold back" as some events will be -
restricted out of necessity. Dealing with the task of satisfying 6,000 participants from 100+ countries is not easy.
The individuals at Airbnb handling this are passionate about creating an unforgettable and transformational event. Good luck. I look
forward to meeting all of you face-to-face at AO16 in Los Angeles. Mary Cornell, TranquilityCasitas.com
