The MEADFA Conference 2025 will take place from 9-11 November in Dubai.

Tax Free World Association (TFWA) has announced where and when this year’s MEADFA Conference will take place. 

The DF&TR industry gathering will be staged in Dubai from 9-11 November at InterContinental Dubai Festival City, hosted by Dubai Duty Free.

“Dubai is a destination that never fails to inspire, and it’s a city that reflects the ambition and innovative outlook of our industry,” said Abdeslam Agzoul, MEADFA President.

“The MEADFA Conference will once again offer us the opportunity to connect and collaborate on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of duty free and travel retail.

“On behalf of the MEADFA board, I’d like to extend our appreciation to our host Dubai Duty Free for their partnership and enthusiasm in welcoming the duty free industry from the region and beyond to this remarkable location.”

Registration for the event will open on 13 August and an early bird discount of 10% will be available to those signing up before 2 September.

After this date, delegates can pre-register at the regular entry rates until 20 October.

“TFWA is proud to once again be supporting this key event in the duty free and travel retail calendar,” said Philippe Margueritte, TFWA President.

“Uncertainty seems to be the new normal in our world. It has never been better times for our industry to join forces and share ideas so that we can plan for the future with agility and with confidence.

“With the Middle East and Africa regions expected to continue to play a pivotal role in the global market, this conference offers an invaluable occasion to explore in detail the trends impacting the industry here both today and tomorrow.”
