Delegates will hear from a high-calibre range of speakers during the TFWA Conference taking place on Monday and two workshops, World in Flux: Travel Retail Amid Today’s Geopolitical Realities, and Next Horizon: Charting the Future of Travel Retail taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The brand-new Innovation Square will host the two workshops in addition to private evening events.
