Airbnb Country Manager Taking the Stage at the Changemakers Summit
Session to feature case studies form Olympics, Paralympics & FIFA
Prepare for a fantastic keynote presentation at the SponsorshipX Changemakers Summit featuring Hannah Parish, Airbnb's Country Manager for Canada.
Hannah’s session, "Opening Doors to Economic Empowerment," will demonstrate that economic empowerment is more than financial independence; it is the foundation for thriving communities, equitable opportunities, and sustainable growth.
Airbnb is more than just a travel and accommodation platform; it’s a powerful engine for economic empowerment. Hannah’s keynote will feature actionable strategies to foster economic inclusion, uplift local entrepreneurs, amplify community impact, and help individuals take charge of their financial futures.
Sponsorship marketers will savour the pivotal role of partnerships in advancing economic empowerment through compelling case studies from Airbnb’s collaborations with FIFA and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and understanding how global events can unlock local and international opportunities. Hannah will share practical insights and a vision for opening doors to a more inclusive, empowered, and economically vibrant future.

She sits on boards and committees across the sports, business, and transportation industries. When not working to advance society, health and women’s causes, the Nova Scotia native can be found on her bike or running the local Collingwood, Ontario, trails with her dog, Rio.
