My first exhibition

Exhibiting at TFWA World Exhibition for the first time can be a daunting experience, but if you are well prepared and aware of all the opportunities on offer, it should be a very successful week. Below are some top tips for new exhibitors.

Book your hotel and flights early

Flights to Cannes and hotels sell out very early for TFWA World Exhibition. To take advantage of the best deals and to make sure you can stay somewhere convenient, book well in advance of the show.
Air France-KLM offers special discounts to TFWA World Exhibition visitors.

Understand technical, logistics and staffing requirements

Creating the right stand for your space, ensuring your products reach TFWA World Exhibition on time and having a well staffed stand are crucial to a successful show.

Plan meetings well in advance

You are far more likely to have a successful show if you have a full schedule of meetings prepared in advance rather than relying on ad hoc appointments throughout the week. TFWA distributes a list of pre-registered visitors to exhibitors, allowing them to make contact early.

Familiarise yourself with available services

TFWA offers a range of on-site services to make TFWA World Exhibition less stressful for exhibitors, including a dedicated TFWA Lounge with full concierge service, complimentary snacks and drinks and internet access. Knowing what services are available could save you valuable time during a busy week.

Use additional opportunities for exposure around TFWA World Exhibition

There are several opportunities to further promote your company and brands in the run up to and during TFWA World Exhibition. Using these will help maximise your presence at the exhibition.

Take advantage of networking opportunities

As well as preparing to take advantage of the impressive business potential of TFWA World Exhibition, take time to look at the schedule of leisure activities and social events. Sometimes the best contacts are made away from your stand!

Learn more about the duty free and travel retail industry

Monday morning is a busy time for exhibitors, but attending the opening conference will give you insights into the macro-economic factors affecting the global travel-retail market. And dedicated workshops throughout the week will keep you up to speed with key regions, channels and issues affecting the trade.
