LAST FEW DAYS TO REGISTER FOR APTRA & KPMG INSIGHTS SEMINAR ROADSHOW IN SEOUL, SHANGHAI AND HONG KONG

Registrations for the fourth annual APTRA KPMG Insights Seminars, which take place in South Korea, China and Hong Kong on 28, 29 and 30th November, will remain open for the remainder of this week. There is no registration fee but places are limited so interested parties are advised to register by email as early as possible (details below).

The agenda for the seminars in all three locations will be the same, while in Hong Kong, the seminar will be part of a larger programme, KPMG’s “holiday season update” of its Retail Asia Conference. APTRA and KPMG, together with research partner m1ndset, will share the principal findings of their recent research studies and to explain how stakeholders can drive growth for the industry.

– KPMG’s Anson Bailey will share their latest research on disruptive technology in retail and give some insights to what the near future holds for consumer technology in the retail environment.

– Clara Perez of m1nd-set will share detailed findings of the latest consumer research on the shopping behaviour and differences between travellers from China, Japan, Korea and India. This latest APTRA research will also focus on Asia Pacific travellers’ current and forecast travel trends, to give delegates a taste of what to expect in 2018 from the region’s key outbound markets.

All three seminars will be hosted at KPMG’s offices on the following dates:

– Tuesday 28th November in Seoul – Registration: ishin@gliconsulting.com

Andrew Ford, President APTRA, commented: “APTRA’s Insights Seminar programme has developed considerably since its inception. The annual APTRA Airport Forum, hosted by Changi Airport earlier this year, is a valuable addition to the programme. The partnership we have with KPMG, now in its fourth year, is an example of how we at APTRA are developing our services on behalf of the industry, alongside our core advocacy mission. The latest research findings from both KPMG and m1nd-set are much anticipated and greatly appreciated by our members.”

APTRA is grateful to the sponsors of the seminars which include Bommidala Group, Brown Forman, Changi Airport Group, DFS, Distell, Eastern Duty Free, The Edrington Group, Jonathan Holland & Associates, Moet Hennessy, Regent Asia Group and Treasury Wine Estates.
