Ever walk through the airport and wonder how the restaurants and shops came to be there? Well the answer is through conferences like the Airport Experience Conference! This annual conference is a three-day event where brands and airports can meet, learn about each other, and network with industry leaders. The 2025 AX Conference just so happened to be in National Harbor and hosted by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority! (That's us!) We sat down with Airport Experience Network VP Melissa Montes as well as our own Concessions Dream Team Peggy Garcia and Carol Gabriel to learn all about what goes down at AXC!
