T his year’s TFWA World Exhibition & Conference marks an important moment for the Association, with the unveiling of a new brand identity and logo during the Conference on Monday by TFWA President Sarah Branquinho. Reflecting both who TFWA is today and the role it aims to play in the future of travel retail, the new identity is built around a simple idea: the industry progresses when it moves forward together. At the heart of TFWA’s role is bringing together brands, retailers and stakeholders from across the global travel retail ecosystem, creating a platform for exchange, alignment and collaboration. The new tagline, “Shaping Travel Retail,” TFWA unveils new brand identity captures this ambition. It reflects TFWA’s role not as an organisation shaping the industry alone, but as a facilitator that helps create the conditions for the sector to shape its future collectively. The new identity therefore represents more than a visual refresh. It signals TFWA’s continued focus on connecting the industry, encouraging collaboration and providing a space where ideas and partnerships can help shape what comes next for travel retail. T FWA is reinforcing its commitment to social impact by bringing #KickCancerThon to TFWA World Exhibition & Conference 2026. Today is your last chance to invest some energy and reinforce the industry’s collective support for cancer research by cycling on stationary bikes installed on the Parvis in front of the Palais des Festivals.
