Introduction
Cannes became the meeting point for the global duty free and travel retail industry as professionals from all over the world gathered for the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference 2025. The event, held from 29 September to 3 October at the iconic Palais des Festivals, was filled with energy, inspiring conversations, and new business opportunities. For INGLOT, it was a valuable occasion to connect with partners and showcase our brand on an international stage.
A Global Platform for Brands and Partnerships
The TFWA World Exhibition & Conference is one of the most prestigious international events dedicated to the duty free and travel retail industry. Each year, it gathers a carefully selected group of premium and luxury brands, global operators, and distributors at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.
At this year’s edition, INGLOT had the opportunity to present its wide range of high-quality beauty products, reflecting the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship, color, and creativity. Visitors to our stand could experience the true essence of INGLOT — cosmetics that merge scientific precision with a passion for self-expression and individuality.
TFWA also provided the perfect setting for our team to strengthen existing relationships, engage in valuable conversations, and explore new business opportunities within the duty free & travel retail channel. The atmosphere throughout the week — from inspiring meetings at the exhibition to evening networking events and cocktail receptions — encouraged genuine connections and meaningful dialogue. These informal moments were just as important as the business discussions at the stands, allowing participants to build trust, exchange ideas, and form authentic relationships that go beyond business.
Building Relationships That Inspire
This year, INGLOT had the opportunity to take part in the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes for the very first time.
Although it was our debut in Cannes, it was not our first encounter with the TFWA community — earlier this year, INGLOT also participated in the TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference in Singapore, one of the most prestigious events in the travel retail calendar for the Asia-Pacific region. The experience gained there allowed us to further strengthen our international presence and build valuable relationships across global markets.
For our debut presence, we presented a new stand concept that reflected the brand’s refreshed image and creative direction. The modern and elegant design combined aesthetics with functionality, creating a welcoming space that highlighted our commitment to quality and creativity in beauty.
During the event, we showcased our latest product launches and upcoming marketing campaigns, emphasizing INGLOT’s continuous development and strong position within the global beauty market. Being part of TFWA Cannes for the first time was an exciting experience, giving us the chance to connect with international partners, exchange ideas, and share INGLOT’s vision for the future of beauty in the travel retail industry — all while experiencing the unique energy that makes TFWA not only a trade fair, but a true celebration of connection and collaboration.
