With the 10th Skift Global Forum on the horizon, we’re getting excited by reminiscing on 10 notable speakers who have taken the SGF stage over the years.

In honor of 10 years of SGF, here’s a look back on 10 of our most memorable Skift Global Forum keynote speakers….

Keep in mind, this is just ten of hundreds of travel industry luminaries we’ve had the pleasure of hearing from over the years. This edition is sure to be no exception, with travel conference speakers already confirmed from companies like Hilton, Intrepid Travel, Navan, GetYourGuide, New York City Tourism + Conventions, and Visit Britain/ Visit England.
Make no mistake: This is the THE top event for the travel and tourism industry, with folks joining from all over the world – from the United States, all the way to Asia Pacific – to learn from our motivational speakers, have unmatched networking opportunities, and discuss topics from air travel, to destinations, to travel marketing, and so much more.
If you are a travel or tourism professional, this is the conference for you. It’s not just another freakin’ travel trade show, we can promise you that.
Don’t miss your chance to join us in New York City at the newly-expanded North Javits Center later this year. A limited number of early-bird tickets still remain, but are going fast. Reserve your seat as soon as possible to save $500 on your ticket (the lowest rate we will ever offer).
