Economy Class and Beyond will once again be on the road – attending the Passenger Experience Week in Hamburg!
We will be at:
- The Passenger Experience Conference – 13th April
- Aircraft Interiors Expo (Colocated with World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo) – 14th-16th April
Let us connect in person in Hamburg!
Economy Class and Beyond will be pounding the halls at the Hamburg Messe, catching up with vendors on how they are evolving the passenger experience beyond its current state of play, as well as covering the news headlines from the event.
Why connect with Economy Class and Beyond?
At Economy Class and Beyond, we like to focus on positive innovations in the passenger experience field in an honest fashion, connecting both B2B, B2C and B2B2C markets
- For B2B, it can show off to customers what your products offer them, as well as future trends.
- For B2C, it gives the end consumer a “sneak preview” of what is coming next in the cabin, telling the story of what to expect when they step aboard an aircraft with your products installed on it.
What do we cover?
- Seating – from the latest designs, from tourist class to top-end premium seating, we’ll be keeping an eye on all the players and their latest innovations
- In-Flight Connectivity – Connecting the passenger from the air to the Internet is becoming more important than ever. We’ll be on top of the latest news
- In-Flight Entertainment – Entertaining the passenger, be it streamed, seat-back screen, on their personal device or via another means
- In-flight Innovations – creating new platforms and ideas to enhance the passenger experience.
- As well as anything else that catches my fancy and eye, as there’s normally a lot going on.
