The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), which operates Toronto Pearson International Airport, will host the acclaimed event for the first time in North America.

As in past years, the event will feature a two-day conference and glittering awards ceremony that champions best practices across the global industry. The FAB Awards 2017 will, for the first time, include regional winners as well as the global accolades.

FAB attracts senior representatives from the world’s leading airports, food and beverage concessionaires and brands to network with industry peers, share insights and celebrate best practices in this burgeoning, ever-changing sector.

For delegates already in the hotel the tour will depart at 12:15pm, meeting at the FAB registration desk. 

There will also be a Friday afternoon social event which will take place after the conference and FAB lunch have concluded on 23 June.
