Skift Global Forum

AOL co-founder Steve Case says his new Waldorf Astoria resort reflects more than just a real estate play. His hope is that the future of high-end tourism lies in community connections rather than resorts that are literally walled gardens.

The first round of speakers for Skift Global Forum have been announced, featuring top leaders from Booking Holdings, Royal Caribbean, IHG, Certares, Air India, Sensei, Six Senses, Revolution LLC, and Intrepid Travel. These industry visionaries will explore the future of travel across innovation, investment, and sustainability.
