In its third annual installment, AO ‘16 in Downtown Los Angeles convened 20k+ hosts and guests from the Airbnb community (from 110+ countries) for a three-day festival of hosting including interactive workshops, inspiring talks and community celebrations. AO’s sprawling urban campus took over 17 venues and 300+ restaurants in DTLA.
