The International Flight Services Association (IFSA) and Onboard Hospitality will jointly host a ground-breaking, interactive online air transport industry trade show, IFSA Onboard Hospitality Virtual Expo, which will be co-located with FTE APEX Virtual Expo in December 2020.
IFSA Onboard Hospitality Virtual Expo will enable the industry to connect and engage at a time when attending in-person events is impossible. The launch of this pioneering virtual trade show follows the cancellation of IFSA EXPO, which was due to take place in San Diego in October but had to be cancelled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
During two live show days on 8 and 9 December 2020, online attendees will be able to browse the virtual exhibition and visit booths, attend live video calls and product demos, watch real-time and on-demand conference content, and network with fellow attendees in the digital Networking Lounge. The event will be open 24/7 to support all regions and time zones.
Then, for a period of 30 days delegates will be able to access the Virtual Expo portal at any hour of the day to re-watch conference sessions and supplier pitches. They will also be able to revisit the exhibition hall to continue to learn all about the products and services that can help them overcome today’s challenges, reinvent their business, and thrive in the post-COVID-19 world.
This free-to-attend Virtual Expo has been designed to attract buyers of inflight passenger comfort and catering products and services, which will be showcased in the dedicated ‘Inflight’ exhibition hall. Meanwhile, the virtual conference programme will include a raft of content tailored to the Asia-Pacific, EMEA and Americas regions, covering the most pertinent topics including IFEC, World of Content, Interiors, Service & Catering, Comfort & Amenities, and Retail. The theme of the event is “Transforming air transport post-COVID-19”.
This large-scale virtual trade show, which brings together the International Flight Services Association (IFSA), Onboard Hospitality, Future Travel Experience (FTE) and the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX), will provide a one-of-a-kind platform for the industry to come together en masse at a time when collaboration is needed more than ever before.
