19th Annual ACI EUROPE
Airport Trading Conference and Exhibition

In it’s 19th year, the ACI EUROPE Airport Trading Conference is firmly established as THE must-attend event for airport retail executives globally. Every year, this conference attracts over 450 senior level delegates from airports, retailers, consultants, retail planners, brands and other enterprises concerned with the future of airport retail.

19th Annual ACI EUROPE
Airport Trading Conference and Exhibition

Mediterranean Conference Centre, Valletta, Malta – April 26-28 2010

New Decade, New Economic Cycle, Permanent Revolution: Reinventing your commercial offer to captivate the post-recession consumer
Taking place 26-28 April 2010, key topics to be addressed by leading industry experts include:
  • Domino effects - recent impacts on airport retailing range from single bag carry-on restrictions through to continuing threats to tobacco merchandising. How are these issues being addressed and what other pressures and legislation are on the horizon across the business? Including: Security: Update on LAGs, dwell time and other processing improvements
  • Outstanding case studies of commercial excellence embracing all airports
  • The price is right? Delivering value consistently across the passenger experience (or how only one bad experience along the chain can destroy your customer’s appetite to spend).
  • Getting personal: Engaging your consumer, knowing what they want, and telling them what you’ve got in dynamic new ways


The quality of the presentations was the best I have seen at one of these events.

From riches to rags, back to riches again – unique lessons from high street and internet retailing

By 1990 Gerald Ratner had become the world’s largest jewellery retailer, but following a high profile gaffe where he called his products “total crap” he lost it all, but has since come back strong again through a new online business – geraldonline.com
