Compelling discussions with travel industry leaders and creatives who are helping to shape the future of travel.

Google is one of the undisputed heavyweights in online travel. So when one of the key masterminds behind all of its travel platforms and products talks about where the search giant is heading, it’s worth paying attention to.

Listen to Holden’s full on-stage appearance with Skift founding editor and executive editor, Dennis Schaal.
