Skift Take

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky is heading back to Skift Global Forum for the fourth consecutive year - and we can’t wait to hear all the exciting new plans for the company's future.

After Brian Chesky’s lively conversation with Skift CEO Rafat Ali about the huge New York City crackdown and European growth at last year’s Forum, we are elated to announce that he will be once again returning to Skift Global Forum for our eleventh edition.

This year will be especially exciting in light of the big product changes ahead for Airbnb and Chesky’s recent announcement of relaunching experiences next year. This conversation is not to be missed.

The Long Tail of Luxury Travel Rewards

Loyalty programs used to feel cookie-cutter — you had points, but your options were limited to a standard king-size suite or a business-class seat. Today, points let you dream bigger (and more luxe), whether it’s a secluded wellness retreat, a private cultural tour, or a completely custom vacation rental.
