Airbnb Aims at Event Space Rental With Acquisition

The Silicon Valley mainstay recently acquired Gaest.com

Could you rent your next meeting location the same way you rent a house from Airbnb? A recent acquisition by the house-rental firm points at a potential future in conference planning.

The Silicon Valley mainstay recently acquired Gaest.com, which targets small events in particular, such as seminars, workshops, and team-building events. The firm, which started in Denmark in 2015, has grown exponentially in recent years and now operates on nearly every continent.
