9:50Now PlayingAshton Kutcher was confronted during an Airbnb event by a Code Pink protester. Ben Mankiewicz, Grace Baldridge, and Francis Maxwell, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“‘This just got a lot more interesting,’ quipped Airbnb’s CEO.
The morning of the third and final day of Airbnb’s annual gathering of hosts, the Airbnb Open, held in downtown Los Angeles this past Thursday through Saturday, featured a Q&A between Brian Chesky and actor, producer, and tech investor Ashton Kutcher that turned heated when a protester crashed the event and made it onto the stage. Kutcher then delivered an impromptu and impassioned appeal for the disruptive, and sometimes controversial, company.
The gathering, Airbnb’s third annual, had already been infused with excitement. The announcement of the company’s planned launch into Trips, a new platform for one-of-a-kind, individual “experiences” offered by Airbnb hosts, had been received by standing ovation and media fanfare earlier in the week.
Now, on the last day, the company was rolling out its star power: Kutcher’s session was preceded by a keynote by Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert and would be followed by a chat with actress and entrepreneur (and Airbnb user) Gwyneth Paltrow. Thousands of Airbnb hosts and guests who’d been attending the event lined up around the corner and filled the Orpheum theater in downtown Los Angeles.”
