Airports Council International has revealed the speaker and panel line-up for The Trinity Forum 2014, which was moved from Bangkok earlier in the year, and will now take place in Taipei on 17-19 September.

 

ACI and The Moodie Report are joint organisers of the event whose theme this year is ‘Towards Cutting-Edge Retail’.

 

ACI says the conference will look at “excellence and innovation across a range of areas from supply chain to social media, design to data capture, as well as exploring the upside potential of industry stakeholder collaboration”.

 

Among the scheduled speakers are:

• Dan Cappell, Senior Vice President Business Development, Abu Dhabi Airports
• Kevin Chiang, General Manager, Ever Rich Duty Free
• Con Constandis, Managing Director, Pernod Ricard Asia Travel Retail
• Bernard Creed, Vice President Finance, Dubai Duty Free
• Dr. Rafael Echevarne, Director, Economics and Program Development, ACI World
• David Hourng-Jiun Fei, CEO, Taoyuan Airport Corporation
• Keith Hunter, Senior Vice President, Qatar Duty Free
• Barbara Lavernos, MD, L’Oréal Group Travel Retail Division Worldwide
• Gavin McKechnie, Vice President Commercial, Abu Dhabi Airports Company
• Martin Moodie, Founder and Chairman, The Moodie Report
• Paul Prendergast, MD, Products Management Consulting, Accenture, Singapore
• Spencer Sheen, Head of Retail, London Gatwick Airport

The special guest speaker will be Dr. Kuang-Shih Yeh, Minister, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Taiwan R.O.C.

 

Additionally, ACI World Director, Economics and Program Development, Rafael Echevarne, will lead a free colloquium (academic seminar) on Concession Management. ACI says the seminar is for airport executives interested in increasing their profit margins given that non-aeronautical revenues are becoming an important source of income.
