Announcements

When it comes to putting on a great event, *everything* matters to make it so.

The 2022 Skift IDEA Awards programme is underway – and there is still time to enter your projects – but you’ll need to be quick! Submit your best projects by July 1 for your last chance to gain valuable recognition as the best in the industry.

The energy around the travel industry in the Middle East right now is unprecedented, and Dubai is at the center of it all. And that's why we're announcing Dubai as the location for our first-ever extension of our premier Skift Global Forum event. This isn’t a freakin’ trade conference, as we gently say it. 

This year's forum will be one for the books. It's our 10th anniversary at Skift and we're pulling out all the stops as we explore the future of travel and convene industry leaders this September.

This year is an excellent one in which to reevaluate and reassess how we manage the impact of travel on communities and the world at large. Don't miss out on these compelling conversations.

Skift founder and CEO Rafat Ali's high ranking as an influential travel leader stems from his willingness to tackle major issues — especially news and trends — in the travel industry.

Uncertainty is the new normal for travel – except when it comes to our events. Here's how we’re doing our part to help rebuild the industry.

Meetings & events is now the center of how companies and industries create culture, and we're embracing the future of business events — with our latest adventure: Skift Meetings.

Listen to this mini-podcast for a synopsis of the themes and big ideas we’ll cover during this forum as we hear from CEOs and leaders of Standard International, Marriott Homes & Villas, Airbnb, Kayak, JLL Hotels, Sonder, MCR Hotels, Life House, Autocamp, and more.

One thing is for sure: The inaugural Future of Lodging Forum is not to be missed.
