Updates from the event organizers
“I am very pleased to report also that our extensive exhibitor list is a really great mix of progressive suppliers showcasing exciting innovations that can enhance the passenger experience both on the ground and up in the air, which I am sure our airline attendees will really appreciate seeing under one roof as they search for inspiration on their next steps,” Daniel Coleman, FTE Founder and CEO, tells PAX.
The multi-day Expo, which boasts more than 500 organizations registered as of November 1 according to event organizers, kick off with “Leadership perspectives on the biggest opportunities and challenges for the aviation industry across Asia and beyond,” moderated by Monica Miller of BBC News on November 8. There will also be a regional awards ceremony and networking opportunities via the Attendee Engagement Platform.
To encourage all attendees to make the very most of their time at FTE APEX Asia Expo, organizers are offering complimentary premium attendance to direct employees of an airport, airline, cruise line or bus/coach/rail network when committing to arrange three meetings on the event app/attendee engagement platform.
This year’s expo theme is “Preparing for Tomorrow’s World,” an outlook that will be reflected in the advanced technology and services exhibitors bring to the event. But it is "more than just a catchy tagline," APEX, IFSA and FTE Group CEO Dr. Joe Leader tells PAX.
The conference will provide unique insights into how the world will evolve over the short, medium and long-term, and how effective utilization of technology, innovation, hospitality and collaboration can reimagine travel for the better and make our industry more resilient, sustainable and efficient,” event organizers said.
"In a world swiftly advancing toward a new dawn, the FTE APEX Asia Expo symbolizes the visionary opportunity for our aviation industry. After our triumphant return to Singapore last year, this year's event promises to eclipse all prior expectations,” Leader says.
