The Trinity Forum 2011: book your place for key Bangkok event

INTERNATIONAL. Registrations are flooding in for the Trinity Forum 2011, to be held at the Pullman King Power Hotel in Bangkok on February 9-11 2011. The travel retail industry’s leading conference is organised by The Moodie Report and Airports Council International, with next year’s edition hosted by Airports of Thailand and King Power International.

Dubai Duty Free is the latest big-name company to confirm its support for the event, becoming Silver Sponsor. Courtesy of the retailer’s Millennium Millionaire raffle, Trinity Forum delegates will have the chance to enter a draw worth US$1 million in cash.

Leading food & beverage operator SSP is Platinum Sponsor of the conference, while Puig, Lagardère Services and DFS Group are Gold Sponsors.

The Trinity Forum 2011 has attracted the strongest line-up of speakers ever seen at an industry conference, with the CEOs of the world’s biggest travel retailers confirmed to appear, in addition to senior executives from leading brand-owners and airports.

Not only that, but the social calendar promises to make this a truly spectacular event. Courtesy of hosts Airports of Thailand and King Power International, Trinity Forum delegates will be given a flavour of Bangkok reserved only for the most privileged visitors, and those wishing to register are urged to consider prolonging their stay to make the most of this amazing Asian capital.

Among the highlights of the social calendar will be the Opening Cocktail, hosted by Airports of Thailand and held in the Oriental Hotel’s Sala Rim Naam, a breathtaking riverside location featuring unique Thai architecture.

After the conference closes on the Friday, delegates will also have the extremely rare privilege of visiting one of Bangkok’s most stunning landmarks – the Vimanmek Palace, the world’s largest golden teakwood mansion. Normally closed to the public, this beautiful location will welcome Trinity Forum delegates for an exclusive tour and private garden party, courtesy of Airports of Thailand and King Power International.

Our hosts have also generously offered to host a golf tournament at the VR Sport Club on Saturday February 12.
