IFSA Global EXPO is Co-Located with APEX and FTE Global, and in Partnership with PCIAW®

Join us for the largest gathering of air transport executives from around the world. We are proud to co-locate with Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) Global EXPO and Future Travel Experience (FTE) Global, and to partner with the Professional Clothing Industry Association Worldwide (PCIAW®).

Together, the shows will create the largest gathering of air transport executives from around the world in 2024 to network, learn, forge new partnerships, collaborate and be inspired on their next moves to transform their organizations’ passenger experience, business performance, innovation, and sustainability strategies.

With our exclusive partnership for professional clothing representation with PCIAW® this year, PCIAW® will host the first ever professional clothing pavilion. The pavilion will represent technical textiles, professional clothing suppliers, sizing technologies and sustainable innovations.

 Join us and experience: 

  • End-to-end customer experience inspiration under one roof.
    The co-location creates a landmark industry show representing the very best innovations for customer experiences at the airport, and inflight, on the trade show floor through our 200+ leading exhibitors. You can reconnect with all your existing partners and meet many new potential suppliers who might be key to your next business moves. 
  • Enhanced thought leadership & education in our conferences.
    There will now be an even greater array of top speakers from around the world sharing future visions and learnings – from top airline and airport CEOs through to an array of senior executives in the CX, digital, commercial, marketing & innovation departments of global travel facilitators, as well as many of the most exciting suppliers and startups in the sector. 
  • A record worldwide attendance that creates the networking opportunity of the year
    This exciting new joint proposition will create a much stronger business case for airlines, airports and their partners to send larger delegations to the show. Airlines will benefit from free entry into all 3 exhibition halls, and the strength of the event proposition will undoubtedly draw a record turnout that will create an incredible networking platform for all involved. 
  • More exclusive launches from exhibitors and speakers to inspire attendees and media outlets
    Speakers and exhibitors are being strongly encouraged to launch new concepts, and news, exclusively at the event, which will also help us attract more press to cover what is happening across the shows. 
  • Combined event app and attendee engagement platform
    Driving meaningful attendee engagement is the core goal of the co-located show and our super event app, covering all events, will enable you to connect with participants in advance of the show to ensure you meet all the right people during your time in LA. The event app also serves as an alternative to traditional paper-based event guides, giving you access to the event agenda, delegate list, exhibitor profiles and useful event information. 
  • Taking recognition & celebration of industry trailblazers to the next level
    Airlines, airports and their suppliers will be recognized at specific award ceremonies taking place across the shows to ensure those who have been excelling in recent times get the recognition they deserve among their peers in exciting locations. 
  • Outstanding social events to deliver unforgettable networking opportunities
    Once more, each show will have its own unique social event schedule to ensure their respective communities get dedicated social gatherings together that facilitate deeper engagement opportunities outside of the convention center. 
  • Reduced pricing
    Participants for each show will also benefit from reduced pricing to access other elements of interest at the co-located events. 

How the co-location works in practice for participants at both shows:

FTE Global has a different set-up from IFSA Global EXPO and APEX Global EXPO, so we are unable to create one singular event offering for everyone to access simultaneously, but we have done our best to create options that support specific industry interests and budgets, while facilitating a powerful co-location that delivers huge benefits for all as outlined above.

What it means for those registered for IFSA Global EXPO or APEX Global EXPO:

  • If you are an airline or rail operator registered for IFSA Global EXPO or APEX Global EXPO, you get complimentary access to the FTE Global exhibition hall, and it only costs you $500 to upgrade to a Premium Pass securing access to all areas of FTE Global.
  • If you are an industry supplier registered for IFSA Global EXPO or APEX Global EXPO, you can only access FTE Global if you register for a Premium Pass that secures access to all areas, at the specially discounted rate of $1,500*.

It will be unlike any event you have attended before and you will walk away inspired with a comprehensive knowledge on the latest ideas and concepts from the sector, many valuable new contacts, as well as a stronger sense of community to facilitate cross-industry partnerships.
