The online platform for Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) and World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo (WTCE) virtual events is now live. Registered attendees can use the digital platform to update their personal profiles, search for exhibitors, pre-schedule business meetings, and more – all before the virtual event takes place online from 14-16 September.

Planning your time at AIX and WTCE Virtual

Reconnecting the cabin interiors and passenger experience industry and facilitating important networking opportunities, the AIX and WTCE Virtual platform enables attendees to find specific products and services of interest and use the smart AI appointment system to match their needs with leading suppliers – ensuring they discover the right solutions and business contacts to meet their requirements.

The new flexible digital platform allows visitors to view contacts across both AIX and WTCE, accept meeting requests and view their complete show schedule including confirmed meetings and conference sessions. Attendees can watch a walkthrough video, demonstrating the functionality of the platform features.

Engage with brand new suppliers for 2021

In addition to invaluable networking and learning opportunities, visitors will be able to explore new products and solutions from a range of exhibitors across the supply chain. New exhibitors will be joining AIX for the first time including AD Aerospace, PACE Aerospace Engineering and Information Technology GmbH, Aviocost, Clarendon Specialty Fasteners, Attax, CCX Technologies, Generation Global, L&L Products, Digital IFE Services and Flitetec. Registered attendees can use the product directory to view the full offering on show from participating exhibitors to discover the latest innovations.

“This virtual event has been a real plus for us as our sales team is located in New Zealand and cannot travel globally, even if we wanted to”, commented Generation Global John Hill. With no packing up or travel required, we will be able to respond to attendee’s needs quicker and more efficiently from our own office than when we attended a physical event. We admit that a physical event still has its place, but we feel that this virtual event will give us new opportunities to reconnect with the aviation industry as it gets back onto its feet. We look forward to seeing you there.”

Also joining the line-up is L&L Products, which will showcase its aerospace solutions including FST adhesives range L-9107 / L-9120 and its new L-9060. Key account manager for aerospace and composites Patrick Siboni said: “AIX Virtual provides an important platform to gather the industry and discover the latest innovations. AIX offers the best opportunity to network across the cabin interiors supply chain.

“Being virtual this year allows us to interface with attendees we have relationships with, in addition to new connections who would not traditionally attend the show in person. Attending AIX Virtual is very important in this time of lockdown to stay in contact with the market.”

Earlier this month, AIX announced a first-class programme of educational seminars through which attendees can gain insights from experts and leaders in the cabin interior industry as they share their experiences and the latest data, as well as relevant case studies to help solve current and future challenges in aircraft cabin design.

AIX and WTCE Virtual replace the live editions, which will not take place in 2021 due to the ongoing challenges and global restrictions on international travel. AIX and WTCE will return to Hamburg from 14-16 June 2022 at the Hamburg Messe.
