We are thrilled to announce the inaugural Skift Data + AI Summit, set to take place in New York City on June 4.

This new groundbreaking event brings together data and AI leaders and data-driven commercial leaders from across travel: hotels, vacation rentals, air, car, cruise, activities, and more to tackle the most pressing issues of one of the world’s largest industries, to solve problems for the business, internally and externally for the customers and consumers they serve.

The event aims to be a forum for leaders to learn from each other and be inspired as they advance data and AI initiatives in travel.

“AI is only as good as the data it is trained on. Without the right data strategies at travel companies, any of the new generative AI tools won’t bring exponential changes in the business as everyone expects to. We are excited to build this new franchise for Skift,” says Rafat Ali, CEO and Founder of Skift.

“AI is a step change in unlocking value and unleashing a new wave of innovation in travel. It is our responsibility, and opportunity as an industry to use this catalyst to challenge the status quo and enhance the traveler experience,” says digital transformation executive, Vivek Bhogaraju, who will join this event as an advisory partner and speaker as we build this day of insights, collaboration, and learning. “I am delighted to partner with Skift to make the inaugural Skift Data + AI Summit a reality. We envision this summit to elevate the dialogue around AI in travel.”

The Skift Data + AI Summit represents a pivotal moment for leaders in the travel sector, designed to bring together visionaries, innovators, and pioneers who are shaping the future of travel through data-driven insights and AI technologies. Whether you’re directly involved in data and AI functions or contribute to these initiatives within your travel company, this summit promises to provide a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and learn from the brightest minds in the field.

The Skift Data + AI Summit will feature a dynamic lineup of speakers and networking opportunities. Our agenda will be meticulously curated to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the travel industry today, as well as showcase a tactical behind-the scenes look at applications and platforms being built within companies. 

Whether you’re looking to gain actionable insights, forge strategic partnerships, or simply stay ahead of the curve, the Skift Data + AI Summit will be an unforgettable day of discovery, inspiration, and innovation. Dive into the transformative power of data and AI in reshaping the future of travel at our inaugural Skift Data + AI Summit in New York City on June 4.
