Skift Data + AI Summit
The travel industry has entered an execution phase for AI. What began as experimentation is now moving into scaled deployment, with data and AI delivering measurable results across distribution, operations, and customer experience. The summit brings together industry leaders to share practical insights and forward-looking perspectives on AI’s impact on travel.
Following last year’s sold-out event, this third annual summit returns to New York City where travel executives, technology leaders, and hospitality innovators converge. Attendees will gain access to the next wave of AI applications and data strategies that are reshaping how the travel industry operates and serves customers.
The event attracts a high-caliber audience, with previous years drawing attendees from 16 countries representing 256 different companies across 22 industries. More than 70% of participants hold director-level positions or above, creating an environment where meaningful business relationships and strategic partnerships can flourish.
The speaker lineup includes C-suite executives from major travel brands alongside entrepreneurs driving innovation in the space. Featured voices represent companies like American Express Global Business Travel, Expedia Group, Mews, TUI Group, and Brook Bay Capital, offering diverse perspectives on data and AI implementation across different sectors of the travel ecosystem.
The venue at City Winery on Pier 57 provides a modern, warm atmosphere that encourages networking and meaningful conversations. The waterfront location offers a distinctly New York energy while maintaining the intimate setting needed for deep discussions about the future of travel technology and AI adoption strategies.
