TFWA WORLD EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE TO TAKE PLACE ON 24TH-28TH OCTOBER

The TFWA Management Committee has announced that, following extensive consultation with members and local partners in Cannes, it has decided to hold the long-awaited 2021 edition of the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference on 24th – 28th October.

The decision will allow maximum time for brands and visitors to best prepare their participation, and allow delegates to take full advantage of the positive developments in the health and travel situation in Europe and elsewhere. While TFWA will continue to monitor the situation closely, the latest steps taken by the French government to allow live events, the gradual re-opening of travel in Europe, plus the hard work undertaken by the City of Cannes to ensure a safe and secure environment, gives TFWA the confidence to work relentlessly to help bring the industry together in October once again.
