[Update] Hear answers to top-voted questions about our recent announcements

[Lizzie]

Hello everyone,

On February 27th, we held our second global host Q&A, where CEO and Head of Community Brian Chesky answered questions about the next Airbnb, inspired by you.

Our global host Q&A events are part of Brian’s 2017 pledge to elevate the voice of the host community. We’ll hold these events throughout the year, rotating the livestream start time to accommodate different time zones.

This latest global host Q&A event was dedicated specifically to your questions about our recent announcements and what’s next for hosts on Airbnb. Brian answered a selection of questions that received the most votes from the host community.

Watch the replay to hear the questions and Brian’s answers (registration required). The livestream was held in English. To turn on translated subtitles, click the “CC” (Closed Captioning) button underneath the video screen when viewing.

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the Q&A. Creating an open dialogue with you, our host community, is part of our company mission and helps us to keep doing better. We appreciate your hard work, dedication, and feedback.

Lizzie

Is it the 26th or the 27th?

[Fiona-and-Keith-and-Fami0]

Information says 27th, so Tuesday US ET.

It does not work

[Lori171]

It must be that this live stream starts tomorrow, Tuesday the 27th as is advertised in print. What is confusing is that we are getting emails telling us that it's about to start, making it sound like it's going to begin in a matter of minutes. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Can't hear anything

Airnbnb wasted a good fifteen minutes of my time today too by sending the confusing emails.  Makes ya wonder.

 I believe the lasting legacy of the Airbnb will be It’s amazing ability to bring together people from all nationalities and cultures in very authentic ways.  What political actions is Airbnb undertaking to assure that shortsighted governments initiatives are not interfering with this important process?

Hello @Doug--Mackenzie--Chloe0, @Gina180, @Jenny310, @Lori171, @Ramez0, @Karen802, @Scott333, @Karen442, @Joao75, @Dan329, @Karolina2, @Sarah1103, @Sandra11,

Thank you for your comments here, I am sorry for the confusion around this. 

I can confirm that the live Q&A with Brian is due to take place on February 27th at 10am PST (San Francisco time). So the good news is you haven't missed it. 🙂

The time period to submit and up-vote questions for the Q&A has now closed, however we have had lots of great questions so I am sure it will be a great session. 

As mentioned in my top post here, you will be able to watch the live event from our Q&A board. If you take a look at this page before the start of the event, you will see that there is a square blue box (which will show the livestream). 

Hopefully this has helped to make things a bit clearer. If you have any other question about this, please do let me know and I will be happy to help.

Thanks,

Lizzie

Timing, Hello !  I am in New Zealand and have no idea what UTC is.  I have only just received this message on 27th about 3.30pm

I would like to have the opportunity to do a review on a host after the 2 weeks.  I have been travelling and couldn't get a connection to give a review to a very unpleasant host.

Hello @Megan202,

Great to meet you and welcome to the Community Center.

Aw all these different timezone does make it a little tricky.

In terms of the Q&A start time this is Feb 27th 10am PST (San Francisco time), which is Feb 28th, 7am (Auckland, New Zealand time).

In the future, you might want to take a look at website, I personally use it quite often when I want to find out different timezones. 🙂

I know this is a little early for you, but I still hope you will be able to join us. 

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Lizzie

Hello @Isabella85,

Lovely to meet you.

I am afraid the time for submitting questions for this event closed on Sunday Feb 25th. However, as I mention in my post above, we have had a good number submitted and voted for by the community, so I am sure you will be interested to hear what Brian responds to. 

I hope you enjoy the Q&A and I look forward to hearing your thought. 🙂

Thanks,
Lizzie
