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.

Following last year’s sold-out event, the third annual Skift Data + AI Summit returns on June 3 in New York City, where industry leaders will share the next wave of AI applications and data strategies reshaping travel.

Attendees will gain practical insights and forward-looking perspectives to stay competitive in an AI-accelerated marketplace.
