The conference will take place October 30 – 31 at the St. Regis Doha.
Organized by the Moodie Dayitt Report, Airports Council International (ACI) and ACI Asia-Pacific, The Trinity Forum is an annual event. This year’s edition marks the first time the conference will be hosted in Qatar and co-hosted by an airline carrier.
His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Group Chief Executive, Qatar Airways, will be a keynote speaker, alongside Engr. Badr Mohammed Al Meer, Chief Operating Officer, HIA. Other leaders in the aviation and retail industries will also appear to brainstorm and explore how airports, concessionaires and brands can work together to benefit the traveling consumer.
H.E. Mr. Akbar Al Baker, states: “I am delighted to welcome hundreds of industry peers to this year’s Trinity Forum in Doha. It is the shared objective of Qatar Airways, Hamad International Airport, and Qatar Duty Free to provide our passengers with an award-winning shopping and dining experience. We proudly work with brands in the true ‘trinity’ model of airport, retailer, and supplier to create a world-class shopping experience to travelling customers.”
Martin Moodie, Founder & Chairman, The Moodie Davitt Report, includes: “It is a thrill and an honor to bring the event that I founded in 2003, and which has become such a pivotal element of the airport commercial revenues calendar, to Qatar for the first time. Hamad International Airport is one of the world’s great airports, and Qatar Airways is one of modern aviation’s most extraordinary success stories. We’re proud to partner with such outstanding organizations and with Qatar Duty Free, which so epitomizes our industry’s drive for retail and consumer service excellence.”
Together, HIA and QDF curate memorable luxury and retail experiences for travelers. This year alone the two unveiled the first Qatar Airways Boutique at HIA, opened the Penhaligon’s “Made to Measure” pop up boutique as an airport world-exclusive and complemented HIA’s two Harrods boutiques by launching the Harrods Tea Room (a first for an airport). Plus, HIA and QDF staged the largest airport podium for Puig brands: Paco Rabanne and Carolina Herrera called Pacomarket/Carolina Hotel.
