This year’s CABBI InnSpire’s Conference & Marketplace was held in beautiful Monterey at the Marriott. This annual event offered attendees over a dozen educational sessions, unparalleled networking opportunities, and a full marketplace featuring the best in hospitality products and services.

This year’s roundtable mini-education sessions host such timely topics such as How to Comply with AB 5, How to Defend Your Inn from An Online ADA Lawsuit, Google Ads to Google Local Ads.

The CABBI Breakfast and Update had a presentation titled “Successful Hosting on the Airbnb Platform for Inns & B&Bs” and presented by Mark McDonald (Market Manager, HotelTonight—Part of the Airbnb Family).


The Dinner at the Monterey Bay Aquarium was truly something special. It was breathtaking and magical to view some of the most popular attractions at night with a smaller crowd. Hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, and jelly fish were some of the most popular sea animals viewed.
