Learning opportunities return online
AIX and WTCE Virtual will also see the return of its unrivalled educational opportunities with three streams running throughout the duration of the three-day event.

The Passenger Experience Conference (PEC) will return to offer a programme of live conference sessions exploring how the pandemic has driven social and economic change requiring air travel to realign to meet the expectations of the ‘new normal’. Leading industry experts representing companies including Airbus, Boeing, Panasonic Avionics, Heathrow Airport, Diehl Aviation, Inmarsat, Safran, BlueBox Aviation and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) will address a range of anticipated topics covering the industry’s most pressing issues. This includes the innovative materials and methodologies underpinning the industry’s recovery; climate change and the cabin footprint; the digital revolution; and how passenger engagement can be a revenue driver.

Running over three days, alongside the Passenger Experience Conference, tailored sessions for aircraft interiors and onboard catering professionals will also be available. The programme will offer on-demand sessions that will shed light on and debate key market trends and challenges.

Insights for the whole aviation industry
A carefully curated programme of AIX Sessions will explore the role of women in the aviation industry, the APAC market and business jet markets. Sustainable Aero Lab mentors will join a panel to discuss sustainability goals and the role start-ups play. Also not to miss are the Crystal Cabin Awards which will be hosted live under the AIX stream.

The popular Taste of Travel programme will also return, offering insight into the latest in catering and retail trends for the best possible onboard experience complete with chef demonstrations and new product launches. It will also feature an impressive line-up of expert speakers who will be examining the tools needed to enhance the experience operators provide to their customers.
A full programme for all three conference steams will be announced shortly.

Polly Magraw, Event Director at Reed Exhibitions, said: “We’re excited to open registration for our 2021 AIX and WTCE Virtual events and bring together the aircraft interiors and onboard services community together at a critical time to accelerate the recovery. The virtual event will deliver not only the high quality business connections the events are renowned for, but also a programme of thought leadership content that will provide professionals from across the global interiors and onboard services industry with tangible learning opportunities that they can apply to their business as the industry recovers.”
