Skift Take

The third installment of Skift Forum Europe continues our laser focus on examining Europe as a bellwether for leading trends in global travel. Join us on April 30th in London as we Define the Future of Responsible Travel.

As 2018 comes to a close, my team is looking ahead to our first Forum event of 2019, Skift Forum Europe. We love this event because of its laser focus on examining Europe as a bellwether for many of the leading trends in global travel. European executives more often than not signal forthcoming trends that will eventually impact the top and bottom lines for companies across the globe. We’re thrilled to announce that the 2019 Skift Forum Europe program theme is “Defining the Future of Responsible Travel”.

This year our journalists will probe Europe’s unique role in defining and scaling responsible travel practices critical to the long term sustainability of the travel industry; the world’s biggest business. We’ve covered the topic of overtourism for a few years now; editorially keeping tabs on regions like Iceland and cities including Rome and Lisbon, as well as offering potential solutions. We’re excited to expand these discussions onstage and hear insight and first-hand experience from those executives in the trenches of overtourism.

Skift Forum Europe 2019 is returning to London’s Tobacco Dock for its third installment. We hope you’ll join us for a fast-paced day of exploring strategic, marketing and technological innovation throughout the region and across industry sectors including hospitality, tourism, OTAs and aviation. You can purchase tickets now at Early Bird Rate £1,295 — that’s £300 off full price. Act now to secure your spot at the discounted rate.

Skift editors will ask the tough questions and expect candid, truthful answers from the travel leaders onstage.

What will Brexit mean for the market and how are travel brands preparing for change? We’ll cover all this and more. Check back often to see the list of speakers grow.
