Aviation Festival 2018 takes place this year 5-7 September in the Business Design Center, London, and the event will encompass more streams and discussion topics than ever before, as it spans airline retail, merchandising, innovation, loyalty, and more.

As a sponsor of this year’s event, Datalex will be heavily involved in the agenda, hosting an airline workshop, ‘A Pathway to Digital Retail’ on day one of the conference, followed by the Institute for Aviation Research (IAR) China Summit, where Datalex will speak on reshaping airline distribution channels through digital technologies, and will also speak on travel distribution in China.

Aviation Festival is now firmly acknowledged as one of the leading gatherings for the aviation industry in Europe. Each year it attracts a huge audience across the entire aviation value chain, who will have the opportunity to hear over 300 speakers across 10 content streams.

This year’s event particularly focuses on innovative technologies, with a number of seminars on digital aviation, AI and related technologies.
