Mark Simpson

Founder, Boostly · boostly.co.uk

"I've spent over a decade helping short-term rental operators stop renting their business from Airbnb and start owning it. Boostly has helped thousands of STR hosts generate direct bookings across 25+ countries. I know this industry inside out — the people, the platforms, and the problems that keep operators up at night."

"But here's what doesn't make the LinkedIn bio: I've always been a connector first. Long before the business grew, I was the person making sure nobody stood alone at an industry event. Because I genuinely believe the right room — with the right people — changes businesses faster than any course, tool, or conference session ever could."

I Know How To Host A Room.

The Icebreaker Series — Manchester and London

"At the Scale event in Manchester, I hosted the Icebreaker — a pre-conference party designed to make sure nobody walked into the main event not knowing a single person. It worked. People who'd never met became collaborators before the conference even started."

"The best thing you can do for someone at a big industry event is make sure they walk in already knowing people. Everything else — the sessions, the deals, the partnerships — flows from that."

"I know how to host a party. More importantly, I know how to connect the right people in the right room. That's what this is."

"You won't ride into Nashville alone. You'll ride in with a crew."
