**We're really going all out this summer to edutain and delight you, and aren't planning to do an event like this in 2026. So if vacation rental or short term rental design sounds like a business opportunity you'd like to explore now, you won't want to miss this year's event.

The Vacation Rental Design Summit in High Point, NC is the only destination for forward-thinking designers transforming the vacation rental industry through intentional, profit-driving design.

Produced by High Point by Design, VRD Summit's mission is to empower attendees with the tools, insights and connections they need to elevate their business and create unforgettable guest experiences. In just a few years, the VRD Summit has become a must-attend event for designers working in and looking to expand into the short-term rental design niche.

This year’s Summer Escape is designed to give you more—more time to connect with fellow attendees, more meaningful moments with brands, and more space to breathe, reflect, and recharge outside the usual Market hustle.

This Summer Escape to High Point will have all the quality education and camaraderie the Summit is known for, plus the added bonus of being located in The Home Furnishings Capital of the World means that you have unparalleled access to the best of design as many sponsor showrooms will be open for business.

Since our inception in 2023, this B2B conference has united top-tier designers, property managers, investors, hospitality and real estate professionals and home brands to explore the power of exceptional design.

What makes this event different?​
Unlike traditional design conferences, we're creating an immersive experience that combines:

• Practical education sessions
• Interactive learning pods
• Exclusive showroom access
• Wellness activities
• Evening networking events

As the only conference focused specifically on vacation rental design (and winner of the 2024 Gold Achievement Award from the State of NC Tourism Board), we're uniquely positioned to help you expand your business into this lucrative market.
