Orbital rates this event Silver.
Skift Global Forum earns a Silver rating based on attendee quality, exhibitor ROI, and relevance to the vertical software industry. A solid regional option for teams focused on the vertical software market.
Skift Global Forum 2026 brings together executives and operators from across the travel industry for three days of focused conversation in New York City, running September 22 through 24. The event draws between 500 and 1,000 attendees, keeping the room small enough that conversations with decision-makers actually happen. Skift has built a reputation for programming that cuts straight to business, and the forum reflects that. Sessions tend to center on where revenue is moving and how companies are positioning for growth, rather than broad trend-watching. Ticket prices sit at the higher end, which filters the room toward senior buyers and strategists rather than early-career attendees. For travel technology and vertical software companies looking to get in front of serious operators with budget and authority, this event is worth the investment.
