Co-organised and hosted with influential travel retail blog, Trunblocked.com, the programme for this two-day pivotal webinar event: Future Airports: From Here to Where? staged on 15th& 16thhas now been revealed: As you can see from the Programme Schedule below, each session is designed specifically to provide solutions to repurposing and reimagining the airport experience.
The speaker list and panels across the two days will feature major names from both inside and outside the airport and travel retail industries (see full programme below). Many of the names appearing are globally-recognised as leaders in their sectors including Polly Barnfield (CEO, Maybe), Miya Knights (Head of Industry Insight, Eagle Eye Solutions) and Rory Sutherland (Vice Chairman, Ogilvy UK).
Alongside some of the travel retail industry’s top consultants, also appearing are well-known High Street retail experts, three prominent airport CEOs and two leading CEOs from the F&B sector.
There will be studio panel sessions, pre-recorded interviews and location filming, combined with all things virtual. There will even be some fun segments.
Peter Marshall of Trunblocked.com comments: “Our sole focus is to effect change within the business community and we are delighted to have assembled a remarkable combination of talent represented by the speakers and panellists – from both outside and inside the business.
Lewis Allen, Director of Environments at Portland comments: “it is a journey to the future of airport retail and is a very different webinar model. It will be a hybrid event, combining studio panel sessions, live plus pre-recorded interviews and location filming, as well as some surprise segments”.
The cost is 60 GBP for the two days. Importantly, the profits will be passed on to the Duty Free World Council’s Academy to cover newly created bursaries for their online training programme that will be available for the disadvantaged and for those with diverse backgrounds who want to join the business.
