SOUTH AMERICA. The ASUTIL Conference will return as an in-person event in 2023 for the first time since 2017, with dates of 7-8 June. Managed by TFWA it will take place at the Hotel Hilton in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
This will be the first time the ASUTIL Conference has been held in Buenos Aires since 2005. The agenda will follow the same format as the last conference in Rio de Janeiro in 2017.
On 7 June a conference session featuring industry leaders will take place before lunch and networking. The first day will then close with a cocktail.
On 8 June, delegates can network with industry colleagues in the morning, and the afternoon will feature a number of international keynote speakers. The conference will close with the traditional dinner that evening. The fee for the event will include access to all event lunches, dinner and cocktails.
ASUTIL Secretary General José Luis Donagaray said: “We’re pleased to announce the return of the ASUTIL Conference, which will be back with the familiar format blending excellent learning with outstanding networking, culminating with the customary fabulous party. This is indeed very much the right partnership at the right time and in the right place and we will certainly be striving to be the best possible hosts for this event.”
TFWA President Erik Juul-Mortensen said: “The South American duty free and travel market is both vibrant and dynamic, and it is truly excellent to see that the continent will once again have its own event dedicated to the industry. It is an honour for TFWA to be able to be a part of this event and support in the growth of the industry in this region. I have no doubt that this returning event will be a great success once more, and I’m looking forward to meeting friends and colleagues from across South America.”
