INTERNATIONAL. The Moodie Davitt Report is delighted to announce 25 and 26 June as the dates for the 2024 Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Conference and Awards. The June timing marks a return to the event’s traditional mid-year scheduling it enjoyed from 2011 until the last FAB in Dallas in 2019 before the pandemic forced a four-year suspension of the face to face format.
The exciting reveal of the hosts and venue for FAB 2024 will take place with a formal handover ceremony on stage at the conclusion of this year’s event, which is being held in Bangkok, Thailand.
FAB Founder, The Moodie Davitt Report Chairman Martin Moodie, said, “FAB is truly back with a bang and now is set for the return to its traditional June timing. While I cannot reveal next year’s location, I can promise all F&B sector stakeholders it will be, to use our parlance, absolutely FAB-ulous.
“We also have advanced plans for a regional spin-off and a series of smaller events, underlining our commitment to what we consider one of the airport and wider travel world’s most exciting sectors.”
Meanwhile, excitement is building ahead of next week’s event on 12-13 September. It will feature a stellar line-up of speakers from the airport F&B and hospitality world. You can view the agenda here.
The FAB + Hospitality Conference and Awards 2023 will climax with a glittering Gala Dinner on 13 September, hosted by our sponsor Airports of Thailand. Here, the winners of the 20 FAB + Hospitality Awards will be revealed. The quality of entries has been extraordinary and underlines the exciting direction the industry is heading in.
Stay tuned to The Moodie Davitt Report for extensive live coverage from the Bangkok event.
