The best conferences in the business, by the industry, for the industry

ACI conferences are recognised to be of the highest quality in the industry and once again Airport Exchange 2013 will deliver a series of individually tailored conference programmes running parallel, highlighting the very best case studies from around the world, and the best ideas for future airport facilities and operations.

Why attend multiple conferences when you can learn about all areas of the air transport business at just one?

Combining all of ACI's specialist conferences, this year's programmes (developed in close collaboration with ACI EUROPE's technical committees) are set to provide a fantastic learning experience, bringing together the foremost experts in their fields to share knowledge and expertise, as well as best practice case studies from airports across both Asia and Europe as well as speakers from outside the sector to provide fresh input and alternative approaches.

At certain points the conference streams will come together also to debate topics which should get input from different airport and airline departments.

New for 2013 – Sessions dedicated to Hamad International Airport to be integrated into each conference stream

A session on Doha's new airport will be integrated into each of the four conference streams so DIA airport officials and key partners have the opportunity to explain the story behind the choices they made in their areas of responsibility for the new airport. These sessions will be integrated across the Security, Airport Development, Airport Operations and IT, Facilitation and Customer Service conference streams.
