There are creaking floorboards, twisty corridors, lined with oil paintings, and oak-panelled rooms that seem to hold the secrets of the past within their joints: Ellenborough Park may now be recognised as one of the UK’s leading country house hotels (in fact, it is the only five-star country house hotel in Gloucestershire) but this wasn’t always its raison d’etre.
Reflecting on Skift Live 2023
17.01.2024 - 20:29 / skift.com / Rafat Ali
As we enter into a new year, it is the perfect time to take a look back at the iconic year of events that occurred in 2023. We kicked-off the year with our annual Megatrends, in New York City, London and online. Then in March, we took Skift’s Future of Lodging Forum to London and in June, we brought back one of our most popular events, Skift Short-Term Rental Summit, where we had a SOLD OUT show. We later hosted our 10th and largest Skift Global Forum yet in New York City while simultaneously introducing our first ever Skift Meetings Forum. We rounded out the year with our fourth-annual Skift Aviation Forum in Fort Worth, Texas in November and hosted our second-annual Skift Global Forum East in Dubai in December. Truly a year for the books.
Let’s take a look at Skift Events in 2023 by the numbers. We hosted 8 events in-person in 3 different continents (North America, Europe and Asia). We welcomed 145 speakers and 5,535 guests who attended from over 94 countries.
As we look back on last year, it’s clear that each event was a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and envision the future of travel. The insights shared and relationships forged will undoubtedly continue to shape the industry in the years to come. Here’s to another year of innovation, collaboration, and exploration at Skift.
As always, a sincere thank you to our attendees, companies, sponsors, and speakers for being a part of such a successful year at Skift.
