Skift Take
In response to the global crisis and its effect on travel, Skift has launched a series of online summits to provide tactical ideas, critical analysis, and perspectives on the solutions needed in this time. Each online summit will focus on a unique sector within travel, featuring Skift editors in conversation with industry leaders, all sharing their perspectives on “Travel’s Path Forward.”
As the Covid-19 global crisis continues to spread and the incredible economic impact is made clear, it is as important as ever to share the key challenges, best practices, and future solutions needed across the travel industry.
Similar to Skift's conferences, which bring together the top executives and business leaders to discuss what’s next and how to drive travel forward, Skift's team has worked steadily over the last few weeks to launch our new series of online summits called: Travel's Path Forward.
Each week, we'll bring Skift's analytical rigor, deep-dive research, and editorial interviews with leaders in travel to this video series, covering specific verticals affected by this crisis and highlighting their path for recovery. Our first event covered Covid-19's impact on business travel and also a dive into the U.S. stimulus package.
If you can't join a Summit live, you can still register in order to be alerted when we release recordings of each event.
Here are the online summits we have in store for the coming weeks:
