Skift Global Forum 2015: Gogo’s CEO on the Future of In-Flight Connectivity

Michael Small, CEO of Gogo will speak about the digital habits of air travelers at the Skift Global Forum on October 14 and 15 in Brooklyn, New York. See the complete list of amazing speakers and topics at the Skift Global Forum. Gogo has become a household name when it comes to providers of in-flight wireless connectivity. As the industry's first-mover, it's become synonymous with onboard Internet— both the good and the bad. It's an enviable position in which to operate, but with the position also comes the deep risk of building a new market segment and hauling consumers along for the ride. Michael Small has been in the CEO's chair for the last five years of that journey, overseeing explosive growth in the consumer space and uprecendented hardware development. We sat down with him early this month to get his views on what's next for the fledgling internet company and what turbulence he forecasts ahead. Skift: It's been a big year for Gogo.
