20th Annual ACI EUROPE Annual Assembly

In its 20th year, the ACI EUROPE Annual Assembly & Congress is firmly established as THE annual meeting place for air transport Chief Executives and industry leaders.

“Chi ha provato il volo camminerà guardando il cielo perché là è stato e là vuole tornare”

(“For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eytes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return”)

Leonardo da Vinci

June 16-18 / Milan Marriot Hotel, Milan, Italy

Year after year the Annual Congress addresses the most important issues facing the aviation industry and typically attracts over 450 senior executives from airports and airlines as well as national and European-level legislators and regulators, consultants, suppliers and the media.

Airports need to plan for the long-term, so a better understanding of what the world will be like in 20 years, plus real ideas from air transport leaders on the development of the sector will provide an invaluable and never before facilitated forum for participants.

Taking place 16-18 June 2010, key topics to be addressed by leading industry experts include:

  • A vision for European transport in 2030
  • Future Political and Market Forces Shaping the industry
  • Conservation Efforts – Growth will only be possible if far outstripped by environmental improvements and strong social responsibilities. What are our best hopes?
  • Industry Relationships of 2030
  • The Passenger Experience of 2030
  • New – The Airport Leaders Symposium
    A briefing from leading airport figures on the key issues of the moment and their suggested strategies for success

It promises to be the leading air transport conference of 2010 – put the date in your diary now.

The full conference programme will be available online shortly. If you are interested in speaking opportunities at the Annual Congress 2010, please contact Lynsey Giddings, Conference Manager, PPS Publications here.

The event more than met my expectations. I came away with new prospects for future work and a better understanding on the global aviation industry.
