TFWA World Exhibition unveils Cannes programme

TFWA World Exhibition & Conference 2022 will be held at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes from October 2 to 6, kicking off with an insightful conference.

On Monday, October 3, TFWA World Conference will open with an address from TFWA President Erik Juul-Mortensen, followed by conversations with world-leading figures in economics and branding.

They include David McWilliams, Adjunct Professor of Global Economics at Trinity College Dublin’s School of Business and one of the most authoritative – and entertaining – voices on economics and geopolitics; and Raymond Cloosterman, Founder and CEO of Dutch beauty brand Rituals, who will address brand-building in a changing world.

The conference will also look at life in the metaverse with the help of a global expert on new digital technologies: Swan Sit, Operating Partner of AF Ventures, a Leading Voice on social audio app Clubhouse and former Global Head of Digital Marketing for Nike, Revlon and Estée Lauder.

Two workshop sessions are scheduled on Tuesday, October 4 (The Airport Forum) and Wednesday, October 5 (Innovation in Action).

The Airport Forum session will feature London Heathrow Airport Retail & Property Director Fraser Brown, Seoul Incheon International Airport Corporation Director Duty Free Management Team Sung Bin Im and Istanbul Airport Chief Digital & Commercial Officer Ersin Inankul.

Innovation in Action will look at customer engagement courtesy of speakers including Intelligent Track System Founder & CEO Morten Pankoke and Founder & CEO of Inflyter Wassim Saadé.

TFWA President Erik Juul-Mortensen said: “This year’s TFWA World Conference will explore the factors that will define business in the post-pandemic world, from pressures on the global economy to changing consumer behaviour. Our programme of speakers features experts in their fields who will provide fresh perspectives on the challenges and opportunities ahead.

“We are also pleased to restore our programme of workshops, which this year will feature senior executives from some of the world’s leading airports, in addition to the innovators that are finding new ways to improve the ways we sell to travellers. I am very much looking forward to these sessions and look forward to welcoming the global industry to Cannes.”
