The Long View Guest This Week: Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky

Skift Take

What does the changed world of travel look like ahead, according to Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, and what is his and the company's role in it? I will dig in with him this Friday at 3 p.m. ET, in this livestream.

For the fourth episode of The Long View, my weekly livestream Q&A show on figuring out the path ahead for travel in coming months and years, I am excited to welcome Brian Chesky, the CEO of Airbnb.

Airbnb is a company very much in the spotlight as we start the long journey of travel industry's recovery in coming months and potentially years. We at Skift will be watching Airbnb's path ahead and its place in the changed world ahead.

I will talk with Brian on leadership, how he is thinking about the present and future of his company, his stakeholders, and his views on the state of travel going forward. In short, a long view on travel as a lens to look at the world.

Join me at 3 p.m. ET on Friday, to listen or watch live on video. We will also archive the video for anyone who can't join in live, so definitely do register.
