The DFMi team at IFSA Global EXPO 2024

DFMi is bringing a distinct vibe to Global EXPO this year with its DFMi Fest themed booth, inspired by classic autumn festivals and Oktoberfest. Located at booth 853, the booth features carnival games and of course food. The booth has three sections: the Midway, Oktoberfest and the Harvest Fest. The Midway hosts games and entertainment; Oktoberfest features DFMi’s Europe and U.K. suppliers; and the Harvest Fest shines a light on suppliers from the U.S. 

Today, PAX International Managing Editor Jane Hobson spoke with Kim Brown, Director of Marketing, and Heather Finidori, Key Accounts Manager, Airlines, about some of the nearly 50 products on display at the booth, now flying with major airlines.

“Who doesn’t love a good fall festival?” says Brown. “Our goal is to create a unique and interactive space that allows people to relax and have a little fun while learning about all our supplier offerings.”
