Tassilly said: “Trinity is a moment in the year for wider discussions which have the potential to significantly impact our travel retail world. It is the only occasion when all parties can have conversations which are not just those centring on existing commercial relationships.
“I always look forward to the panel conversations and the fresh thinking and thought-provoking commentary that emerges. I am delighted to be looking to the future of travel retail in one of those moments at this year’s event.”
