The Skift Global Forum, held September 15–18 at The Glass House in New York City, once again proved why it’s one of the most forward-thinking gatherings in the travel and hospitality industry. Known for its design-focused approach and high-caliber discussions, this event brings together global leaders who shape the future of travel. And for another year, NOOK Event Pods were part of the experience—offering attendees a comfortable, stylish space to work, meet, and recharge amid the energy of the forum.
A Space with a View
The Glass House is a striking venue, filled with natural light and sweeping city views. The NOOK Event Pods fit seamlessly into this environment, giving guests a quiet retreat without losing connection to the event’s atmosphere. Positioned near the venue’s expansive windows, the pods provided the perfect balance of privacy and openness—an ideal space for catching up on emails, taking a quick meeting, or reflecting on insights from the sessions.
Showcased as a Venue Feature
One of the most exciting developments this year is that The Glass House now features the NOOK Event Pods in its promotional materials. The venue includes images of the pods in the presentation book it shares with event planners, demonstrating how they can be incorporated into event layouts to enhance attendee comfort and engagement. It’s a great example of how venues are recognizing the pods not just as furniture, but as an experience-enhancing design element.
The Skift Team: Small but Mighty
The Skift team, though compact, once again managed every detail with precision and creativity. Impressively, they even provided their own labor to move and set up the pods, ensuring they were perfectly placed to complement both the venue’s architecture and the event’s flow. Their hands-on approach and eye for design make Skift Global Forum stand out year after year—and NOOK is proud to play a small part in that success.
A Perfect Fit for Premium Events
The NOOK Event Pods have become a signature feature at this annual forum, perfectly aligned with Skift’s focus on innovation and attendee experience. At a conference where ideas about the future of travel and hospitality take center stage, it’s fitting that even the meeting spaces reflect forward-thinking design and comfort.
