Time is running out to save on tickets to the consumer-voted Global Travel Retail Awards. Early bird pricing ends at midnight tonight (Monday 3 August), so book now to secure the best rate.

The ceremony is taking place on Tuesday 29 September at Hôtel Martinez in Cannes to coincide with the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference. Make sure you’re in the room for the big reveal of the Highly Recommended and Winner accolades as it could be your year to shine!

Established in 2018, the Travel Retail Awards stand out for being the DF&TR industry’s only accolades that are voted for entirely by consumers.

Attending the ceremony is a valuable business opportunity, whether you are in the running as a finalist this year or not! Buyers in the audience will be among the first to discover the products and initiatives that travelling shoppers have voted the best.

Plus, it is a valuable networking event, with the chance to meet stakeholders spanning the entire travel retail ecosystem who share a common goal to put consumers at the heart of decision-making.

At the early bird rate, single tickets are priced at £399 +VAT (20%, if applicable), rising to £460 + VAT (20%, if applicable) thereafter.

The early bird rate for a table of 10 costs £3,830 +VAT (20%, if applicable) – representing an attractive saving on the standard rate of £4,430 + VAT (20%, if applicable) thereafter.

Renewed congratulations to all the finalists (scroll below for a reminder to see who’s on the list). TRBusiness and m1nd-set are looking forward to welcoming you to a memorable evening of jubilant celebrations.

Congratulations to the finalists – view now!

Being a finalist is a tremendous achievement, with all those recognised awarded the ‘Voted by Shoppers’ Finalist accolade, which can be utilised in promotional and marketing materials and at the point of sale.

As well as earning industry recognition, this can influence shoppers at the point of sale. Indeed, research by m1nd-set shows that 22% of consumers are more likely to purchase a product displaying the ‘Voted by Shoppers’ Finalist logo.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the ceremony in Cannes!
