What were the highlights for you at CIFF 63?

The energy at CIFF 63 was incredible. Wednesday, we had a fantastic day, with visitors from all over the world filling the space. I felt immense pride in seeing our industry come together to warmly welcome everyone. It was especially impactful to have everything consolidated in Bella Center, making it convenient for our Scandinavian customers to visit multiple brands without spending time on transportation. I’m very attuned to the energies, and when I introduced Medina on stage to an enthusiastic crowd, it brought back the best of the old fair vibes. A big thank you to CIFF for creating such a dynamic environment, and to our industry for its strong support. When we gather as an industry at CIFF, we can attract customers from all over the world. Together we are stronger.
