A New Chapter for IFSA Global EXPO

After a record-setting 2025, IFSA Global EXPO moves beyond Long Beach for the first time in years, bringing fresh momentum, renewed energy and new opportunities to connect in the Dallas metropolitan area, one of the world’s most important aviation hubs.

In 2026, IFSA Global EXPO will be co-located exclusively with Future Travel Experience (FTE), creating a powerful intersection of onboard services, passenger experience and airline innovation — while preserving IFSA’s distinct focus on onboard services.

Attendees can once again expect the core elements that define IFSA Global EXPO:

  • Chef demos showcasing culinary creativity and onboard trends.

  • Thought leadership sessions addressing the future of in-flight services.

  • A vibrant exhibit floor connecting airlines with leading suppliers.

  • And the return of Fun Night, bringing the community together in a relaxed, high-energy setting.

Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center

IFSA Global EXPO 2026 will take place at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, an expansive, all-under-one-roof destination designed for seamless meetings, networking and immersive event experiences.

Located just minutes from DFW International Airport, the Gaylord Texan offers:

  • Integrated hotel, meeting and exhibit space.

  • Walkable access between sessions, exhibits and networking.

  • A destination environment ideal for connecting business with experience.

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
Sales & Account Manager, 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
"We spend a lot of time, no matter your position, in rabbit holes dealing with the day-to-day. The networking, the engagement, seeing clients, meeting new people. . . that's important. But to come to a place where it is about thought leadership, strategic trends and seeing new technologies and things that are on the floor . . . for me, this is that opportunity to really refresh and bring ideas back."
Greg Anderson
CEO, LSG Sky Chefs
