The company conceived and runs (in partnership with Airports Council International) the industry’s leading airport commercial revenues conference, The Trinity Forum, as well as the Airport Food & Beverage Conference & Awards. It also publishes the annual Airport Commercial Revenues Study. It recently launched the first dedicated travel-related food & beverage magazine, The Foodie Report, also in e-Zine format.
