Skift Take
As we look back at our Skift Live events in 2022, we can’t help but be grateful for our attendees, speakers, sponsors, and employees for making it all possible. Last year was just the tip of the iceberg as we have so much more in store for 2023.
Skift Global Forum was held in New York City on September 26-28, 2023. Read coverage of the event at the link below.
Last year with travel and in-person gatherings beginning to slowly reconvene post-pandemic, we hit the ground running with in-person, online, and hybrid events. We even added two BRAND NEW events in 2022 – Future of Lodging Forum and Skift Global Forum East – to the Skift Live lineup, and hosted a very successful Aviation Forum, which was in-person in Dallas for the first time.
Let’s take a look at Skift Events in 2022 by the numbers. We hosted 8 events in-person and online, in 3 different continents (North America, Europe and Asia). We welcomed 150 speakers and 8,777 guests who attended from over 120 countries.
