BY CAROL WARD

For the past 20 years, the Airport Experience News team has brought the industry the most comprehensive learning and networking event for the airport concessions industry. Starting with a 2005 event in Orlando that attracted around 300 people, the conference and evolved and grown four-fold over the past two decades. Some of the faces you’ll see in the early years on the timeline below are the same faces you’ll see this year (albeit a bit more seasoned this time around!). As the Conference turns 20, we celebrate all of the industry executives who have attended each conference, appreciate the many who have joined us along the way and welcome newcomers into the AXC family.
