The dedicated TFWA i.lab space will feature a lounge where participants can network with visitors and promote their ideas from a pitch stage with a screen, and an informal area shared by start-up exhibitors.
Featuring some of the TFWA i.lab exhibitors, TFWA’s Innovation in Action workshop will also resume its place on the week’s agenda and will take place on Wednesday 5th October from 12:30 until 14:00 CET. The line-up of speakers will cover topics such as sustainability in travel retail, digital transformation and data-based services.
With significant exhibitor interest in this year’s TFWA i.lab, visitors will meet with both new and returning names from some of the most tech-forward businesses in fields such as data analytics, sustainable and social initiatives, digital traveller engagement and in-store solutions. TFWA i.lab will also be included within TFWA’s ONE2ONE meeting service and preliminary meetings for eligible companies can be arranged.
“Innovation continues to play a fundamental role in the recovery of the duty-free and travel retail industry, and we are honouring this by positioning TFWA i.lab at the very centre of the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference. TFWA i.lab encourages delegates to explore new ways of operating while also providing them with ample opportunity to learn about some of the latest trends and developments set to shape the future of duty-free and travel retail. With a range of pioneering companies sharing new ideas, delegates can look forward to being both captivated and inspired during their time in Cannes” says Erik Juul-Mortensen, TFWA President.
