The speakers on stage, the themes we discuss, and the questions we focus on all speak to our quest to understand the state of innovation in the travel sector, and larger innovations in the world that affect travel. The big picture of the world, with travel as a filter to look at it.

THIS YEAR’S TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

• Travel’s Green New Deal: What are the priorities? How much must be invested to meaningfully address global sustainability issues?
• Hospitality’s Next Move: Strategies for addressing experience, differentiation, and scale in an increasingly competitive and consolidated market
• The Transparency Conundrum: Online booking diversification, packaging and brand partnerships
• The Future of Mobility: From aviation to ride sharing, strategies, markets, and technologies that are redefining mobility and transforming customer experience
• Innovations and Challenges from Asia: What do the fastest growing markets tell us about where travel is headed? How are destinations preparing for the demands of outbound travelers?
• Raising the Stakes on Experiences: More and more travelers are focused on bringing home memories and instagram moments rather than souvenirs. Skift examines the experience landscape from luxury and wellness retreats to curated events, and more.

Learn more about what you’ll learn and who you’ll meet at Global Forum.
