Our Most Popular Event: Skift Megatrends Is Back for an 11th Year

At the beginning of each year, Skift launches its annual Megatrends, forecasting the top trends that will define the travel industry for the year ahead. See last year’s predictions here. 

This year’s Megatrends events – taking place in New York City and online on January 9 and in London on January 11 – will gather leaders and innovators throughout travel to hear these trends presented and then discussed with game-changers from across the industry on stage.

Research and Reporting-Driven Themes

Kicking off the year with eye-opening presentations and high-level discussions with industry leaders, we will present our findings on what the macro forces impacting the globe will mean for travel:

• Shifts in Demographics and Influence
• Loneliness and Human Connection
• Adapting to Climate Futures
• New Tech and The Automation Age
• Blended Travel’s Staying Power
• Global Economic Uncertainty 
• Activism-Led Change

Drawing on reporting, data and insights from Skift editors, reporters, research analysts, as well as conversations with leading global executives to set forth the themes that will define travel’s year ahead – and thus, the trends you need to know to inform strategic business decisions.

Newsmakers on Stage

From the CEOs of online travel agencies and hotels, to tech founders and investors, and also tourism and aviation leaders – the people creating and defining the future of travel – our Megatrends event assembles the brightest minds together with Skift editors and research analysts to share their vision of what’s next and the strategies they are employing at their companies to stay ahead. 

This January 9, we will kick off our Megatrends in New York City, with presentations and discussions with Skift editors, researchers, and special travel industry guests on stage from 2pm to 5pm ET, followed by a networking reception. In London, we will host a series of short conversations with travel leaders and Skift editors from 3pm to 5pm GMT, with a networking reception post event.
