AN INSIDE LOOK

Join us for an exclusive, Inside Airbnb event, where we’ll reveal how we’re applying Machine Learning to empower our community of guests and hosts. We will also share the critical role machine learning plays in each of our businesses, and our plans for the future!

Our event will kick-off with group tours around our HQ, and then lead into our dining area for dinner and a welcome from Ari Balogh, CTO of Airbnb. From there you will meet Vanja Josifovski, CTO of Homes, where he will share the vision of Machine Learning for Airbnb. After that, we will dive a little deeper and host a poster session to showcase how we are approaching Machine Learning, inside Airbnb!
