TFWA World Exhibition has shared details of a packed networking programme at this year's Cannes show, including an appearance by top DJ Martin Solveig.
The week will kick off with para-sports activities, including blind football and wheelchair rugby on Sunday morning (28 September) co-organised by the Stade Toulousain Handisport charity and TFWA and supported by travel retail analyst m1nd-set. As part of this year’s Yes We Cannes para-sports programme, the 500-kilometre para-bike ride from Toulouse will conclude in Cannes, with riders scheduled to arrive in front of Cannes City Hall at 17:30 on 27 September.
This will be followed by the opening cocktail held at the Carlton Beach from 19:00. Access to all networking events is complimentary for badge holders.
The popular TFWA Lounge will return with both after-work and night-time sessions taking place on Monday (29 September) and Tuesday between 18:30 and 21:00 and 22:00 and 01:00. On Wednesday at 22:00, the beach will be transformed into the Phenomena Club. This glamorous nightspot will feature a stellar line-up of DJs, including Martin Solveig who will keep revellers on the dance floor until 02:00.
TFWA President Philippe Margueritte said: “Networking is a core part of attending a TFWA event and remains vital for the progress of an industry that is forged on relationships. This year’s programme reflects our commitment to creating meaningful connections in unforgettable settings. Alongside the chance to exchange ideas, conduct business and explore new opportunities, delegates can seed and grow new partnerships in a relaxed atmosphere. We look forward to connecting the industry once again in Cannes later this year."
