The latest trends in food and beverage, retail, and design will be among the topics in the spotlight at the ARN 2016 Revenue Conference & Exhibition. The event, to be held March 6-9 in Dallas, is the leading airport revenue conference in North America, bringing together airport leaders, concessionaires and other industry executives for three days of thought-provoking content, a packed exhibition hall and myriad opportunities for networking.
Airport Revenue News has released its preliminary schedule of session topics, a lineup that includes experts weighing in on what’s next in food, retail and design, and how those trends can influence and be adapted to the airport environment.
The ARN sessions also will zero in on how concessionaires and airport executives can maximize their revenues. One session will focus on such diverse strategies as leveraging customer data, tapping into a new generation of travelers and consumers, and transforming airport and concessions operations with digital applications that enhance productivity and profitability.
Airport directors will gather on stage for a special session focusing on some of the key issues facing the industry today. From the reauthorization battle to air service issues to how best to maximize airport revenues, these select industry leaders will discuss their strategies for addressing important topics.
For newer entrants into the airport concessions industry, or for those who want to enhance their knowledge and skills, the first day of ARN conference programming will focus on some of the nuts and bolts of operating in the complex airport environment. Industry leaders will discuss everything from tips on preparing winning requests for proposals to concessionaire financing strategies to evolving airport expectations.
As always with the ARN Revenue Conference & Exhibition, the programming will be capped with our highly popular “schmooze” sessions, which provide opportunities for concessionaires to meet one on one, speed-dating style, with airport properties executives from throughout North America. Finally, the closing event will be a formal dinner and awards presentation celebrating excellence in the airport and concessions industries.
