Top Ten Reasons to Attend RezFest

By Amy Regnier, Director of Field Marketing

Instant Software provides the Vacation Rental industry with the one and only combined technology and educational conference. RezFest returns to one annual event in fabulous Las Vegas, offering at least eight classes for each of our vacation rental software solutions, a selection of sessions on current industry trends and key issues, and education on a variety of vacation rental industry business solutions.
 

If you have not attended in prior years, you are probably thinking to yourself…”What is RezFest and why should I attend?” Well, I am going to give you the top ten reasons you absolutely can not miss RezFest 2010! Let the countdown begin…

10. Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa, the host venue, is an extraordinary Las Vegas destination providing the ultimate guest experience (trust me, I experienced this first hand!). When not in sessions, enjoy the three-acre backyard pools, 91 massage therapists at The Spa, 10 remarkable restaurants, state-of-the-art 24-hour casino, 16 screen movie theater, luxury bowling suites, complimentary shuttle to and from the strip and airport, and much more. Because it is amazing –that’s why.
 

9. You will be situated at the gateway to one of the most beautiful national parks in the country, Red Rock Canyon, and only 12 miles from the Las Vegas strip. Check out our very own ISI team member, Karen Miller, and my recent trip to see the real beauty of Las Vegas.

8. RezFest is THE best industry conference providing you next-to-none networking opportunities with other vacation rental and property managers that use the same solutions you do, come from a variety of vacation destinations to give you new ideas, and attend with the same goal in mind….new tools for success.

7. Find out about industry trends from true experts (instead of those fakes in the industry offering dangerous and inaccurate advice) to learn about Yield Management, SEO and the top issues facing vacation rental companies today.

6. Kick back with the Instant Software team and Partners at enjoyable receptions, such as Casino Night at South Beach, Red Rock Lanes Reception…and of course, a long-time favorite, karaoke at the Closing Night Party. Pick a song, choose your favorite ISI Team Member to join you on stage, and don’t forget your vocals! (Don’t judge me.)

5. If anything…come for the extraordinary food. Throughout the event, breakfasts, breaks, lunches and receptions are included with your registration. Dessert? Yes, please.

4. Meet the entire Instant Software team from the Executives, Developers, and Account Managers to the knowledgeable and dependable Support Teams. Finally...put a face with the name!

3. Product training can cost up to $150 per hour remotely or $1,200 per day on site. You will get at least eight hours of classroom training with a variety of topics over two days for only $275 in registration fees per attendee.  Hello value!

2.  “Beat the Dealer” to win a Smart Car for your vacation rental or property management company at the Welcome Reception on Tuesday, September 21. Someone will win! P.S. We will brand it with your company logo, too!

And the number one reason to attend RezFest is (drum roll, please)…

1. What happens in Vegas…goes back to the office!

Industry Trends Webinar Coming Up!

With exclusive focus in the vacation rental market and experience in serving over 500 companies for their payment processing needs, VacationRentPayment is pleased to announce our newest Webinar focused on Automating, Streamlining, and Saving Money on Credit Card Acceptance.  

We will educate you on ways to save money on processing costs by letting your software control all aspects of the transaction, familiarize you on how to take advantage of a flat rate processing model, and enable you to provide your guests with the ability to use e-Checks - an innovative new payment product. Whether credit cards represent 10% or 100% of your rental income, processing credit cards outside of your rental software is costing you more than just transaction fees.  

VacationRentPayment will show you how to put together the best and most cost efficient solution for your business. Also be sure to attend one of our educational sessions during  RezFest, 2009.

VacationRentPayment is the most innovative and integrated online payment solution in the Vacation Rental industry, dedicated to providing the best combination of total cost savings, easier accounting, and superior technology.  We are the only payment processor that offers clients a web-based interface with real-time reporting and automatic transaction batching regardless of the payment method (credit/debit cards and E-check acceptance).
