Registration has begun for the 2017 TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference, to be held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore from 7 – 11 May. Registration will remain open until 6 April.
TFWA President Erik Juul-Mortensen said: “While business slowed in all other areas of the world in the first nine months of 2016, Asia Pacific was the only region to show growth, gaining a substantial +10% and tipping the global market back into the positive, according to preliminary figures from Generation Research.
“This region therefore remains a market that must be a top priority for our business. Attending this event will provide delegates with the essential insight to help them thrive here.”
TFWA said more than 2,900 people attended last year’s exhibition, an increase of +12% from 2,591 the previous year. Over one third of the attendees were key buyers and 360 meetings were organised by the ONE2ONE meeting service.
To date, 275 exhibitors – 42 new or returning – have signed up and the exhibition is expected to attract leading brands from the region. New and returning brands include Tommy Hilfiger, Kering Eyewear, Guerlain, Caudalie, Whyte & Mackay, Champagne Laurent-Perrier, Zonin 1821, APM Monaco, Korea Ginseng Corporation and KT & G Corporation.
