Description

FUTURE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE GLOBAL

The Future Travel Experience journey began back in 2006 in Las Vegas and FTE Global has since become the definitive industry event where the most forward-thinking air transport industry experts come together to learn, collaborate and be inspired on their next moves to reimagine passenger experiences and business performance transformation. We postponed the event September to December and it will certainly be great to get our eco-system back together face-to-face under one roof as it is certainly the best way to drive meaningful engagement between stakeholders, if we are to deliver the vision outlined in our recently released FTE Think Tank on the Post-COVID-19 Passenger Experience co-created by some of the largest and most progressive airlines and airports in the world.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a black swan event that is forcing the sector to reimagine much of what it has always done leaving our audience of airlines, airports, vendors, startups, OEMs, government agencies, destination partners and various other travel industry stakeholders wondering what steps need to be taken now to transform their business, and operations. Through a comprehensive set of conferences, the exhibition and a unique networking agenda, FTE Global 2020 will deliver the ideas, insights and inspiration that stakeholders need to benchmark new strategies against those of their peers around the world, and future proof their strategies.

The FTE Global show will now include the FTE Ancillary conference and our FTE Innovate Awards, both of which were initially planned for the now-postponed FTE Dublin event. Also, in an act of solidarity with the industry we will offer one complimentary delegate ticket (worth $1,395) to every airline and airport across the world to support their essential need to plan for the future, whilst they operate on tighter budgets through 2020.

Partner Voices
MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.     MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
