MEETING UP AND WINDING DOWN AT TFWA ASIA PACIFIC CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION


TFWA has organised a diverse selection of activities at TFWA Asia Pacific Conference & Exhibition, which will take place in the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Center (MBS) from 12th-16th May, that are designed to help delegates to network with colleagues old and new.

Carla Guiducci, Vice Present Marketing, TFWA: “Business networking is an essential element of any trade show. TFWA takes enormous trouble to organise a range of social events at venues which are not only attractive but also conducive to meeting the people who will make your business tick in the Asia Pacific region. Even first-time visitors will quickly feel at home engaging in light-hearted activities in elegant yet relaxed surroundings. Most importantly, our unique ONE2ONE ‘match-making’ service takes the headache out of identifying appropriate contacts and arranging appointments.”

The popular ONE2ONE service, which puts airports and operators in touch with exhibiting brands and distributors, is available now at http://tfwa.com/duty_free/ONE2ONE-meetings.1222.0.html. The meetings will take place in a special suite of rooms inside the exhibition hall.

With a record exhibition space of almost 8,000 square metres on level B2 of MBS and more than 240 stands, delegates attending TFWA Asia Pacific will be sure to have a busy and productive week in an exhibition venue of the highest quality.

For those looking for an informal meeting place after hours there will be the TFWA Asia Pacific Bar and terrace on level 4 of MBS serving refreshments on Monday 13th from 17:45 to 19:30 and from 18:00 to 19:30 on Tuesday and Wednesday. The sponsors of the Bar are Avalon Group - Protégé-International, Bache-Gabrielsen, Bardinet, Brown Forman, Casa Vinicola Zonin, Constellation Brands Canada - Inniskillin Ice Wine, Dupuy Cognac, Distilleria Bottega - Alexander It, Gérard Bertrand, International Beverage, La Martiniquaise, Lateltin Ag, Macduff International, Miguel Torres and Tequilera Corralejo.

The TFWA Asia Pacific Golf Tournament, organised in partnership with Interparfums on the Tanjong course at the Sentosa Golf Club with its captivating views across freshwater lakes to the South China Sea, will get the week off to a great start on Sunday 12th May with first tee-off at 07:30.

On Sunday evening at 19:30 the Welcoming Cocktail at the world-famous Raffles Hotel will have a ‘Scent of Chance’ theme.

For a mid-week break TFWA proposes the Chill-Out Party at the Mandarin Oriental Poolside on Tuesday 14th at 19:30 which will take a playground theme with pinball, pool, darts and table football among the amusements on offer. This informal event is kindly sponsored by Tic Tac from Ferrero.

The social climax will be the Singapore Swing Party, which this year will be staged at the historic Alkaff Mansion, on Wednesday 15th starting at 19:30. Located in the serene Telok Blangah Hill Park, just minutes from MBS by courtesy bus, the mansion offers panoramic views of the park and the sea below. Guests will travel back to the ‘Roaring Twenties’ for a night of dining, dancing, jazz and casino games at one of Singapore’s most spectacular venues.

Tickets to the social events are included in the TFWA Asia Pacific Conference & Exhibition Full Delegate package. However, extra tickets may be available for purchase from the registration area on site subject to availability.

Registration for TFWA Asia Pacific Conference & Exhibition is open at www.tfwa.com. Application for the Golf Tournament is at http://tfwa.com/duty_free/Networking.44.0.html. A shuttle bus service to the social events will operate from all major hotels.
