FRANCE. Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be the star turn at this year’s TFWA World Conference to be held in Cannes on 30 September.
Democrat Clinton, defeated by the Republican candidate Donald Trump in the controversial 2016 US Presidential election, has spent over five decades in public service as an advocate, attorney, First Lady, US Senator and US Secretary of State.
In Cannes she will explore the fast-evolving global political landscape and the trends that are impacting the geopolitical environment within which the duty free and travel retail industry operates.
