We often get asked many questions about the best event in travel, Skift Global Forum, taking place on September 17-19 in New York City - and we wanted to make sure you have most of the answers in one place. Here is what you need to know.
Skift Global Forum is our flagship event that has transformed into the premier thought leadership conference covering the business of global travel. The focus is to understand and decipher the bigger picture that connects all sectors of the industry. The Forum features influential leaders and companies from across the travel and hospitality sectors, discussing and defining the future of travel.
Since its inception in 2014, Skift Global Forum has been at the forefront of shaping the future of travel. With its cutting-edge discussions, insightful presentations, and world-class networking, this annual gathering serves as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration.
Skift Global Forum is ideal for anyone interested in the future of the travel industry. This includes:
The forum is not just about networking but also about elevating the discussion on the future of travel, offering transformative insights for attendees.
We aim to deliver the best possible experience for an event of this caliber. A Skift Global Forum event includes:
Skift works a bit differently from other events. Speakers are (mostly) joined on stage with a Skift editor or executive and asked pressing questions within their sector and the topics will vary depending on the industry. Don’t expect a bullet point list of “10 tips for how to XYZ,” instead expect a deep-dive of editorial driven questions and answers.
This year, we’re honored to welcome 30+ speakers to the stage including:
We are now currently on our “limited time” price of $2,695 with the full-price being $3,495, and prices rise as we get closer to the event. Make sure to lock-in your seats as early as possible to secure our lowest rates. Trust us, you won’t want to wait until the last minute to either have to pay full-price or worse, risk the event being sold out as it has done in the past.
If you’re bringing a group of 2-6 folks, group prices are $350-off whatever the current rate is, and if you’re 7 or more, reach out to us at events@skift.com to discuss a larger discount.
There’s no reserved seats–it’s theater style seating and we do our best to make sure everyone can see the action. We don’t offer refunds on tickets, but you can transfer your ticket to anyone else or save your credit for another event within the same calendar year by emailing us.
This year’s Forum is set to return to the iconic Glasshouse on the West Side of Manhattan in New York City from September 17-19 with breathtaking views of the city skyline.
In 2023, we welcomed 875 attendees and 36 speakers to this location, and this year we plan to welcome over 1,000.
We don’t have an official hotel for the event, but do offer a list of recommended hotels in partnership with Klerk. View hotels here.
Ideally, the morning or afternoon of September 17th, so you can join us for the opening reception that evening. Session will conclude at 1:00 pm on September 19th.
If you have questions or want bulk tickets (7 or more) for your team, please drop a line to events@skift.com and we’ll be happy to help. See you in New York City.
