Demand for air travel is back in a big way but with this recovery comes a myriad of complex challenges for the world of aviation. Sign up for our one-day event in Dallas to hear from the leaders and smartest voices in the industry break down strategies for the future.

As we say at Skift, "follow the trendlines, not the headlines." This year's Skift Global Forum will be full of valuable insights that look at the broader trends and info that travel leaders need to stay ahead in this vital and also volatile time for the industry. You don't want to miss it.

Travel's biggest CEOs are carefully considering this moment, as travel returns, to think about how they can take action and reimagine their companies, and the industry, for the better. Undoubtedly, it's a critical time in travel. The question is: how will we use it?

Beyond the industry's top CEOs, Skift Global Forum is about showcasing the ideas and people that are reshaping travel. Here are just a few you won't want to miss.

When it comes to putting on a great event, *everything* matters to make it so.

The energy around the travel industry in the Middle East right now is unprecedented, and Dubai is at the center of it all. And that's why we're announcing Dubai as the location for our first-ever extension of our premier Skift Global Forum event. This isn’t a freakin’ trade conference, as we gently say it. 

Our Future of Lodging Forum is going to be an incredible gathering of game-changers discussing how stays will adapt to reflect changes in how consumers lives and work are now merging.

All of hospitality is undergoing a dramatic change as we recover from the pandemic. That's why we are hosting a first of its kind event bringing together both the hotel and short-term rentals sectors to explore "The Great Merging" happening across lodging and how guests are driving the changes redefining the industry.

Skift Forum Europe will return this March to take a deep dive into one of the most important regions in travel by convening leaders from across sectors as Europe seeks to find unity and a strong return in 2022. Europe has always been a bellwether for many of the leading trends in global travel, so don't miss out.

We're excited to be coming back with more hybrid events with this robust calendar of forums and summits in 2022. In addition to the return of our Megatrends and Europe Forum, we will be launching two new events: a Lodging Summit in May, and a Middle East Global Forum in December.
