About the event

Brands, retailers, airport and border stores, airlines and transport operators take the halls of the Palais des Festivals, with perfumes and cosmetics among the leading exhibitor sectors alongside wine and spirits, fashion and accessories. The programme includes the industry conference, the ONE2ONE pre-scheduled meeting service, a Start Up Day and daily networking events.
Why people go
