With exhibitor figures for this year’s TFWA World Exhibition & Conference at record levels, the 2016 event is shaping up to be one of the best ever.
A total of 473 exhibitors, representing the industry’s most prestigious established brands as well as exciting new and on-trend brands, have already registered to take part in this year’s event. Of these, 58 are new or returning after a short absence, compared with 48 in 2015. The elegant yachts of the Harbour Village always add much to the atmosphere of Cannes and provide an excellent means of adding welcome additional space for the event. This year, 10 of these beautiful vessels moored in the marina will be chartered for the week of the event. Sisley, Beam Suntory, Benefit, Elizabeth Arden, Heineken and Moroccanoil will all be offering harbour-side hospitality to visitors.
Not only are there more exhibitors, the exhibition will also occupy more space. This year the Beach Village will feature not one, but two marquees.
Helping exhibitors maximise their impact at the exhibition, the TFWA Product Showcase is now open at online. This free online service allows exhibitors to profile and promote their products, and has become a well-established essential resource for journalists as well as visitors to the exhibition looking for the latest information.
Pre-registration has now been extended and will be open until the later date of Sept. 14. Those who have not registered by this time will still be able to register when they arrive on site at the exhibition venue.
TFWA World Exhibition & Conference will take place at the Palais des Festivals, Cannes, between Oct. 2-7.
