What an unforgettable experience at STRive to Thrive Auckland 2025 last week! The event brought together some of the most passionate and forward-thinking minds in the short-term rental industry — and we were honoured to be part of it.

Leaders, property managers, and rental experts from across the country gathered for two full days of dynamic presentations, innovation, and meaningful connection. The energy in the room was incredible, and the speaker sessions were packed with valuable insights for the entire sector.

We were especially proud to see our founder, Ronda, take the stage alongside such an outstanding lineup. Sharing the TimeOut story with this inspiring community was a powerful moment for us, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to highlight the impact that donated stays can have on families facing terminal illness.

A heartfelt thank you to Bart Sobies for organising such a world-class event and for inviting us to be part of it. Your support has helped us connect with a network of industry specific professionals — and now many of them are interested in helping us in our mission.

We’re incredibly thankful for the warm reception we received, the thoughtful conversations, and the new connections we made throughout the event. It was a wonderful chance to introduce TimeOut to those who may not have heard of us before — and to explore potential partnerships that could expand our reach across Aotearoa.

To everyone who stopped by for a chat — thank you! We’re looking forward to continuing the conversations, building on this momentum, and working together to bring more TimeOut moments to families in need.
