Sponsor Opportunities June 12th, 2018 - United Club Levi’s® Stadium Santa Clara, CA

Skift Tech Forum is a one day conference, laser-focused on the tech disruptions happening in retailing, merchandising, and distribution (RMD) of travel.

New technologies and consumer behaviors have been opening up new ways of selling — not to mention new relationships between businesses.

Skift will explore these tech disruptions, with customer centricity as the connecting thread running through all the topics.

The Tech Forum will bring together CMOs, CDOs, CTOs, CIOs, tech innovators, tech platform companies, and tech service providers. It will be the first such effort to bring together leaders from airlines, hotels, online travel agencies, and other sectors for whom innovations in retail tech drive their business agenda.
