About TFWA World Exhibition
TFWA World Exhibition & Conference brings you world-class speakers, from captains of industry and political leaders to academics and authors. Get a new perspective on duty free and travel retail, business and geopolitics from some impeccable sources. You can also hone your professional skills at a range of industry-focused workshops with expert insight on today’s key issues.
If business development will be top of mind for most at TFWA World Exhibition & Conference 2014 (26-31 October in Cannes), the event also offers access to the latest thinking on key issues affecting the industry. This year’s conference and workshops underline the relevance and breadth of expertise available.
Eye-catching speakers only add value when they tackle topics that interest the audience. As head of the airline with the largest long-haul network out of Europe, Alexandre de Juniac (Chairman & CEO of Air France-KLM) enjoys a unique perspective of the international travel market, which makes him an invaluable addition to the 2014 speaker line-up. Joining him on stage will be Luxottica CEO Andrea Guerra with his thoughts on how travel retail can help premium brands, while TFWA President Erik Juul-Mortensen will assess industry progress in this, TFWA World Exhibition & Conference’s 30th anniversary year. Surveying the broader geopolitical landscape, former US Secretary of State Colin Powell discusses leadership in challenging times, a theme his career as soldier and statesman leaves him well placed to address.
