The best conferences in the business, by the industry, for the industry
4 Innovative Conference Programmes Announced
Combining all of ACI's specialist conferences, this year's programmes (developed in close collaboration with ACI EUROPE and ACI APAC's technical committees) are set to provide a fantastic learning experience, bringing together the foremost experts in their fields to share knowledge and expertise, and offer delegates insight and solutions to the key industry issues facing the sector, as well as best-practice case studies from airports across both Asia and Europe.
The conferences for 2012 are:
- Airport Development and Environment
- Security and Border Control
- Airport Operations
- Future Travel Experience Europe
These conferences will be complemented by workshops on key subject areas, and efforts will be made to combine the conference audiences where appropriate to discuss key subject matters with implications across different areas of the airport business.
New for 2012 - Future Travel Experience Europe
Through its website and events for travel industry stakeholders, Future Travel Experience focuses on the end-to-end travel process from the passenger point of view, from the moment of booking through to the collection of baggage at the arrival destination, and assesses how every aspect of the passenger experience on the ground can be improved. After staging 6 highly acclaimed events in North America and 2 in Asia, the organisers have been inspired by our Airports 2020 theme and plan to deliver the best future ideas on improving the passenger experience on the ground, and how travel industry stakeholders should be adapting their strategies for the future in response to changing technologies and passenger needs.
