Skift Global Forum Opening Night: Join Us at the Mandarin Oriental


Skift Take

We're looking forward to a lively night of networking on September 17 to kick off Skift Global Forum. Want to join in on the fun? Register now.

Over 1,000 people will be on hand in New York City for the sixth annual Skift Global Forum, and we think the best way to start things off is with a good party. To kick off the Forum, we’re returning to the Mandarin Oriental, New York again this year for our opening night event.

Offering a bird’s eye view of the city, Mandarin Oriental, New York is a luxury hotel notable for exceptional service and taste. Skift attendees will mix and mingle 36 storeys above Central Park in the hotel’s marquee event space. Take in spectacular views of Columbus Circle, Central Park, and the glittering Manhattan skyline while enjoying delicious food and drinks served by the hotel’s award-winning team. What more could you want in an evening? You just need to register for Skift Global Forum to secure your spot.
