Passenger Experience Conference

The catalyst for the future of the industry

At Passenger Experience Conference, everyone belongs. We cultivate a culture of inclusion at all our events, where the very things that make each of us unique are celebrated. Our exhibitors, attendees, partners and event colleagues are people from a wide variety of backgrounds, who make our shows stronger and our collective experience richer.

Putting the passenger first

The conference, held in Hamburg provides not only visitors but also exhibitors with key industry knowledge and networking opportunities in a more relaxed environment before the exhibitions open.

The conference provides you with the opportunity to learn, network and conduct business, bringing together experts and visionaries from airlines, airframers, OEMs, suppliers and design organisations with key responsibility for the cabin and enhancing the passenger experience.

The conference is followed by Aircraft Interiors Expo and World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo.

Delivering the latest Passenger Experience Insights

As the aviation industry continues to see a shift in what is expected from both business and leisure travellers as well as sustainability commitments, new business models and revenue streams will be vital to cater for these changes.

We will be exploring the passenger engagement strategies that will grow revenues; the innovations and new thinking that will support airlines and their supply chains; and address consumer expectations for travel experiences that truly respond to their needs.

Discover the latest insights from the Passenger Experience Conference on the AIX Hub.

It's the place to be if you want to meet with the industry, your peers, partners and people you haven't met to find answers, network and to ask questions which you haven't asked before. For me, it's to learn more, get insights about new trends, discover the next steps and find out what the industry

Passenger Experience Week is very impressive and we hope to return for many years. The show is done very well and it is great to be a part of it.

This is our third year here as you don't get other shows like this elsewhere, offering such a unique service. Each time we come the possibilities surprise me, every year there are more solutions and innovations to be discovered. To stay ahead in the industry, Passenger Experience Week is a must.

Decarbonising the events industry, together

At RX, we are serious about sustainability. We are founding members of the Net Zero Carbon Events pledge to make our company, our shows and the wider events industry net zero. We commit to being Net Zero by 2040 and to make a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

We will continue to publish our pathway to net zero, setting out our reduction strategy with key milestones for all our shows. Given the complex nature of our supply chain and the emissions associated with a show, it is only by working together as an industry that we will be able to reduce our impact. We are building a company of net zero heroes to take action and ensure a sustainable future
