Sign up for our awesome New York Tech Events weekly email newsletter.     EVENT DETAILS Skift Global Forum: Our Promise Skift Global Forum was Skift's first event & also helped launch a series of the most creative business gatherings in the global travel industry. Over the last five years they have become what media, speakers, & attendees have called the TED of travel. Since the launch of our first Forum in 2014, we've expanded our events across the globe to Silicon Valley, Europe & Asia, as well as into the restaurants industry with our Skift Restaurants Forum. Our annual Skift Global Forum in New York is still our biggest & most diverse event with 1,100+ attendees from 40+ countries. It's the premier travel conference focused on the top marketers, strategists, & technologists in the industry - the people creating & defining the future of travel. Skift carefully curates topics & speakers for this two day conference in order to inspire our fellow travel professionals about the business & creative potential of world's largest industry. This is not a freakin' trade conference! The program is fast paced, intimate & thought provoking. Skift moderators ask tough questions that go way beyond the obvious, draw on original Skift Research & push the boundaries of strategy & creative imagination. The speakers on stage, the themes we discuss, & the questions we focus on all speak to our quest to understand the state of innovation in the travel sector & larger innovations in the world that affect travel. The big picture of the world, with travel as a filter to look at it. That is why we bet this will be the best creative brainfood for you all year, that much we can promise!
