Beyond Booked

Beyond Booked is a fast-paced, half-day educational event bringing together nationally recognized experts in vacation rental design, branding, and marketing. Presented with Visit High Point and Downtown High Point, Beyond Booked is designed support the community of local short-term rental operators with expert insight, practical tools, and strategies to help their properties stand out in a competitive and evolving market—while also reflecting the design-forward spirit of a city known as the Home Furnishings Capital of the World. With High Point designated as a Certified Autism Destination, Beyond Booked also shines a spotlight on the importance—and opportunity—of inclusive travel. Attendees will learn how accessible design not only supports guests with physical and cognitive disabilities but also provides a competitive edge in today’s evolving hospitality market. Conceived by the team behind the award-winning Vacation Rental Design Summit, the afternoon is rooted in strengthening High Point’s year-round short-term rental landscape—though the takeaways apply far beyond the local market. Attendees will walk away with inspiration, tools, and proven strategies to design smarter, market with clarity, and ultimately earn more.
