On September 26-28, we will be hosting our TENTH annual Skift Global Forum – a.k.a. the top travel industry conference – and we can hardly believe it. It’s crazy and exciting to see how far we have come and how many talented and insightful travel industry leaders we have welcomed onto our stage.

MGM Resorts International reported record second-quarter revenue on Wednesday, driven by a recovery in Macau and continued strength in Las Vegas. The casino and resort operator noted that a partnership with Marriott International boosted the company but that an upcoming Formula 1 race in Las Vegas isn’t leading to as many bookings as was hoped.

Next week will be our 10th annual Skift Global Forum, happening September 26-28, 2023 in New York City. After several years of recovery, it’s clear this year is finally a moment when the industry can finally look ahead to the long-term, while also adapting to a rapidly changing digital future that will be more autonomous and more connected than ever before in history. 

We are thrilled to announce that Christopher Nassetta, President and CEO of Hilton, will be taking the Skift Global Forum 2023 opening reception stage, on the evening of September 26 in New York City. Nassetta, a renowned hospitality industry leader, will be joined by Skift Founder & CEO, Rafat Ali, in an inspiring kick-off to what is shaping up to be the most creative and consequential travel industry event to date.

Skift Global Forum, the travel industry’s most important event, is hosting its tenth edition this year. We know, how has it been ten years? Over the last decade, the Forum has become an essential gathering for travel industry leaders, innovators, and disruptors to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at Skift Global Forum’s history, evolution, and impact over the last ten years.
