We Are All Set and All Sold Out: Skift Global Forum, Oct. 9 in NYC

And so, our inaugural Skift Global Forum is sold out! We are all set on the program, with 25 amazing speakers carefully curated to build the most diverse and creative lineup of talent ever put together in the global travel industry.

No panels, no pitches, only talks and one-to-one interviews, all designed around helping you understand where the future of travel is heading, with topics to inspire the professionals in travel about the business and creative promise of the sector.

We are looking forward to welcoming all of you attending, starting with a program the evening before for Skifties awards, and then the full day of Oct. 9 at the TimesCenter.

Those who are not attending and want to follow it online, we will have coverage on Twitter at #skiftforum, stories on Skift.com, and video snippets of the talks posted in the weeks following the Forum.
