Launching New Ebook: Lessons From Skift Global Forum 2015
Skift Take
Get insights from the travel industry's best thinkers and leaders.
Over two days in October of 2015, nearly 800 people gathered in a Brooklyn warehouse overlooking the East River to discuss the future of travel.
The lineup of brands represented on stage and in workshops included top leaders from MasterCard, Airbnb, Trump Hotels, Virgin Atlantic, Hyatt Hotels, Delta Air Lines, Wyndham Hotels, Gogo, Zero Point Zero, NYC & Company, InterContinental Hotels Group, Brazil’s Embratur, and more.
As in our inaugural Skift Global Forum in 2014, speakers delivered concise, targeted, and jargon-free messages about areas of their expertise in a TED-like atmosphere. No panels, no droning talking heads.
Just good ideas.
