There is a ton of excitement as we look ahead to our inaugural Skift Data + AI Summit next Tuesday, June 4 in New York City. Join us as we hear how some of the larger themes and advancements in AI are impacting travel: from big players – including Microsoft, United Airlines, Expedia, Kayak, KLM, Destination Canada, and more – to gamechanger companies like NLX, Plum Guide, and Winnow. We will unpack what they have launched, how they think about the data needs and challenges across travel, and their tactical approaches to implementation.
