About ARC

The Airline Retail Conference is the most focused networking platform for airline buyers and suppliers in the world. Through our conferences, exhibitions and social events, we create premium opportunities to build rewarding business relationships.

ARC was first founded in 2007, and has been organised each year in the UK, becoming established as the most important conference for leaders in inflight retail and onboard food & beverage. The most recent London show was the largest event of its type ever staged, with over 400 delegates – including over 100 airline and concessionaire buyers – 18 sponsors and 51 exhibitors.

Now the portfolio has expanded to cater for other territories: the first ARC Asia-Pacific took place in January 2011 in Macau. With over 150 delegates from across Asia, including over 40 airline representatives and most major concessionaires, the event had a dozen sponsors and a 21-stand exhibition. Information on past events can be found here.

We are currently working towards our next London conference, which will take place at the Hilton London Metropole from the 9th – 11th July 2012.
