WTCE in Hamburg

The

World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo (WTCE) returns to the Hamburg Messe from June 6-8 2023

More than 5,000 global attendees will be present at an event which counts as an industry leader for networking and, of course, for doing business.

Following the return to face-to-face meetings last year, WTCE turns 11 in 2023. It showcases sustainable solutions, the latest in culinary trends plus technology whose capabilities include enhancing passenger experiences, cutting waste and boosting revenue.

If you haven’t already done so, please consider adding a meeting with a member of the Onboard Hospitality team via WTCE Connect. That planning tool makes it possible to secure meetings in advance of the show and we look forward to meeting you in person. Please say hello to us at our stand – 1E100 in hall A1.

Awards announcement

You’ll find us near the Taste of Travel Theatre, which will be the venue of the 2023 Onboard Hospitality Awards between 4.30pm and 5.30pm on Tuesday, June 6. Naturally, we hope that as many of you as possible will be present to hear us announce the awards’ much-anticipated winners.

The ceremony presents you with an opportunity to network while enjoying food and drinks. We would like to thank our sponsors: Catena Zapata will be supply the wine in conjunction with Intervine, the Bellino is from Monte Vibiano, Heineken is providing beer and the delicious canapés are from Cuisine Solutions. We’re anticipating a fabulous event and look forward to seeing you.

The AIX

During the same three-day period as WTCE, halls B1 to B7 of the Hamburg Messe will host the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX). The leading exhibition for the passenger experience industry is billed as “the must-attend event dedicated to everything to do with aircraft interiors”.

More than 12,000 attendees will be present at AIX, including 600 exhibitors showcasing more than 1,000 onboard aviation products and services. The show was launched in 2000 and has evolved into the world’s largest and most comprehensive annual passenger experience event.

And before WTCE and AIX begin, the Passenger Experience Conference (PEC) takes place on Monday, June 5 in the Congress Center Hamburg. After the opening plenary session, PEC splits into two streams, Delivering for the New Generation of Passenger and Succeeding in the Green Revolution

We look forward to catching up with you in Hamburg. Here’s to the 2023 WTCE/AIX being a huge success. worldtravelcateringexpo.com •
