Skift Future of Lodging Forum

The Great Guest Experience Upheaval

After the very successful debut of Future of Lodging Forum in New York last year – focused on what Skift has called The Great Merging – we are bringing it to London in 2023.

In our nearly post-pandemic world, consumers have made a choice: They want to travel. And they expect hotels and rentals and vacation homes and new innovations around these products to be ready to meet their new suite of demands.

Join us as Skift gathers leaders from across hospitality for this single-day event in London to discuss the future of accommodations, how new consumer behaviors are dictating change across the industry, and the continued blurring of hotels and short-term rentals on guest itineraries.

The Skift Future of Lodging Forum will feature creative thinkers, industry leaders, and new research, as Skift editors and analysts uncover the avenues for growth that “The Great Guest Experience Upheaval” may present for hotels and short-term rentals.

In this second edition of Skift Future of Lodging Forum, we will explore new opportunities, changing expectations, emerging technologies, and big ideas for the decade ahead.

Join us March 29 in London as we discuss:

• How to determine and meet new demands
• The emerging brands that already get it
• Where consumers are booking now
• From bleisure traveler to global nomad
• The tech powering innovation
• What smart leaders focus on
