In photos: Highlights from WTCE and AIX Hamburg 2022
The Hamburg Messe
This year’s WTCE and AIX Hamburg were hosted at the Hamburg Messe last week from June 14 to 16. The catering and interiors events marked the first in-person gathering for WTCE and AIX since the pandemic began.
"I wish all of you an enjoyable, interesting and fruitful day. This will be a really memorable event for us all," said Event Director Polly Magraw at the Passenger Experience Conference (PEC) on June 13, the day before the expo open.
While there were fewer delegates than pre-pandemic, there was an overall excitement in the air and the exhibition halls were abuzz with partnership announcements, product reveals, press conferences, cooking demos, awards ceremonies and more.
