ABOUT SKIFT GLOBAL FORUM Skift Global Forum is a creative business conference built around the forward-looking trends, challenges and ideas defining the future of travel.

Now in its fifth year, this immersive event set in NYC has become what media, speakers and attendees have called the “TED Talks of travel.”

Skift Global Forum is designed to inspire travel professionals about the business and creative potential of the world’s largest industry through carefully curated talks by industry leaders, thought-provoking panels, interactive exhibitions, and hands-on workshops in an environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, and cross-sector learning.
