Announcing the Return of Skift Meetings Forum in New York City This September


Skift Take

Returning for the second year, Skift Meetings Forum will be held in New York City on September 17th gathering top-tier meeting professionals to discuss advancing technology, evolving attendee preferences, shifting work dynamics and so much more.

We are excited to announce that the Skift Meetings Forum will return for the second year. An event that provides a unique opportunity for a meaningful exchange of ideas between the leaders who shape and drive the future of the meetings industry.

Skift Meetings Forum, set to take place on September 17th in New York City, aims to propel discussions among meetings industry leaders on how advanced technology, evolving attendee preferences, shifting work dynamics, and generational changes are swiftly transforming business events.

The skills necessary for success in this evolving industry are expected to undergo significant transformation. These shifts will influence every aspect of event planning, from venue selection to event marketing strategies. However, the fundamental importance of face-to-face interaction remains unchanged. 

Planners consistently emphasize the significance of conducting business with partners they know and trust, which is why Skift Meetings Forum is the perfect opportunity to compare notes with other planners and be in the same room with 150+ like-minded peers that you normally wouldn’t get to meet.
