The aviation industry will return to Dublin for APEX FTE EMEA & Ancillary & Retailing 2027, taking place at the RDS from 15–17 June 2027. The co-located events bring together airlines, airports, technology companies and industry partners to explore the future of air travel, digital transformation and commercial innovation.

A key focus of the Ancillary & Retailing programme is the evolution of airline and airport commercial strategies. Topics include airline retailing, ancillary revenue, airport retail, digital commerce, loyalty, personalisation and emerging technologies such as agentic AI. The exhibition provides an opportunity to discover solutions spanning retail, payments, merchandising and customer engagement.

The wider APEX FTE EMEA programme brings digital, operational and passenger-experience innovation into the same setting, creating opportunities for industry professionals to exchange ideas and explore new approaches to the end-to-end travel journey.

Held at the RDS in Ballsbridge, the three-day gathering combines conference sessions, exhibitions and networking opportunities. With senior aviation professionals and technology providers attending from across the sector, the event offers a valuable forum for discovering developments that could shape the next generation of air travel.
