FRANCE. Tax Free World Association (TFWA) has appointed Avolta as Lead Partner of the new Innovation Square, a dedicated space showcasing breakthrough retail concepts at the upcoming TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes.
Making its debut at this year’s event, Innovation Square will spotlight cutting-edge technologies, sustainable business models and future-focused retail solutions.
The space is designed as a hub for networking, learning and knowledge exchange, with Avolta managing operations during the daytime throughout the show.
Complementing the daytime activity, Lacoste will serve as After Hours Partner, encouraging connections and dialogue among industry leaders.
TFWA President Philippe Margueritte, together with the Board and event partners, will welcome a select delegation for the official inauguration of Innovation Square at midday on Monday 29 September.
At 6pm the same evening, Lacoste will welcome guests to an invite-only gathering.
The Innovation Square will host two TFWA workshops, to be held at 8am on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Access to the Innovation Square is strictly by invitation only.
TFWA President Philippe Margueritte said, “It’s an enormous honour to have Avolta join us as the Lead Partner of Innovation Square. The support shown to the Innovation Square concept by longtime friends and partners is incredibly heartening, not just for myself but for all members of the TFWA board.
“This spirit of innovation, which permeates everything we do at TFWA, will be reflected across all the events hosted at this fabulous new facility, including our TFWA workshops and the After Hours Partner’s private evening event.” ✈
