Cartier and IBM executives join powerful Trinity Forum line-up

Trinity-2016-600x100-Email

INDIA. Senior executives of two blue-chip companies have joined an already formidable speakers’ line-up for The Trinity Forum 2016 in Mumbai (12-14 September).

Cartier Managing Director Travel Retail Asia Michael Guenoun will bring his keen insight to a hard-hitting concluding session on day two themed ‘Telling it straight – how does the future look for our industry? A prophetic final session involving a broad array of Trinity perspectives’.

He will be joined by Dan Cappell, Acting Chief Commercial Officer, Abu Dhabi Airports; Divia Thani, Editor, Conde Nast Traveller India; and a senior retailer to be named soon.

Guenoun recently called for a major rethink into the way luxury items are sold in travel retail, noting: “We believe that the offer in travel retail must change from a transaction to a real experience beyond the acquisition of products.”

Ravi Shankar, IBM’s Global Leader, Travel & Transportation Centre of Competence – Travel & Transportation, will deliver a candid external perspective on changing consumer aspirations. Shankar, a much-respected expert in aviation and general transport, is renowned for having set up IBM’s Global Competence Center for Airports, leading to his current leadership role.

The Trinity Forum, the world’s leading airport commercial revenues conference, will be held at the Trident Nariman Point Hotel in Mumbai. The event is hosted this year by GVK and Mumbai International Airport Limited. It is a tri-partite alliance between The Moodie Davitt Report, Airports Council International (ACI) and ACI Asia-Pacific.

Hotel booking (with special rates for Trinity delegates) is open for the Trident Nariman and The Oberoi, Mumbai, two of the city’s most prestigious hotels. They are connected by a walkway and both offer direct access to the conference facility.

Delegates can register for the event and book their hotel rooms via the dedicated Trinity Forum website here.

Platinum Sponsors for the event are L’Oréal Travel Retail, Dufry, Diageo and Travel Food Services, with Mars a Gold Sponsor and JTI joining Dubai Duty Free as a Silver Sponsor.

Lunch on day one will be sponsored by Perricone MD and on day two by SSP. Luxottica-owned Sunglass Hut is lending its support with sponsorship of the day one morning coffee break; and Lite Bite Foods the day one afternoon coffee break. Lacoste is sponsoring the delegate pads and Desigual the delegate bags.

Additional sponsoring partners include Al Nassma, Choko La, Oettinger Davidoff and Skross.

Further sponsorship opportunities, including coffee breaks, are available – please contact Sarah Genest at Sarah@MoodieDavittReport.com

City and airport tours are also available as part of what promises to be a memorable social agenda. Delegates have the option of attending either the half day city tour or half day airport tour on the morning of 12 September. A packed lunch will be provided during the tours.

For the half day airport tour, delegates must send a scanned copy of their passport along with scanned passport size photograph at least five weeks prior to the event. Please send this information to events@aci.aero
