Two years into our larger mission of defining the future of travel, here's how we're going about it.

Skift Global Forum is the first conference focused on top strategists, technologists, and marketers in travel, the people creating the future of travel in 2014 and beyond.

Hotels, tourism bureaus, meeting planners and delegates are having challenges keeping up with advances in event technology due to so many new platforms and providers arriving on the scene.

When online booking engines decimated the travel agent industry beginning in the late '90s, it was the "human vending machines" who went out of business, not the real travel advisors.

Looking forward to welcoming you all. Skift Global Forum is the first conference focused on top strategists, technologists, and marketers in travel, the people creating the future of travel in 2014 and beyond.

Figure out some simple, creative ways to surprise and delight visitors, and you're creating powerful positive memories–ones they're likely to share with friends.

The number of travel agents has decreased dramatically in the last two decades, and the ones that remain have focused on providing a suite of specialty services, rather than banking on the random trip that's better handled in a DIY fashion.

Thanks to all of you for helping us get to where we are, we'll continue to inform, delight and surprise all of you as we grow.
