What Attendees Say About IFSA Global EXPO

"Having suppliers, caterers and airlines at a single table and being able to talk to each other in a formal and informal presence during networking events, on the show floor and off the show floor . . . you can't find it anywhere else."
SJ Barton
Head of Commercial, HACO
"It's one of the very few events, if not the only event, where we all do get together. It's an opportunity to get away from the emails, the day job, the Teams calls and take a step back to see what we can do together."
Jon Harwood
VP Retail, dnata
“It’s become a family event over the years. We’re all here because this is the best place to be. You’ve got everyone in the same place; it’s kind of like all pieces of the puzzle come together.”
Nicky Slater
Business Development Manager - Airlines, ITW Envopak
