AAAE holds nearly 100 industry meetings each year in the U.S. and abroad, attracting some 15,000 airport and aviation executives. AAAE's meetings deliver an ideal way to enhance the airport executive's industry knowledge and offer important training and networking opportunities that foster business development.

The AAAE annual conference always attracts more than 2,500 airport and aviation professionals, including airport executives; airport and aviation suppliers and vendors; airline personnel, and representatives from FAA, TSA and DHS. Four days of discussions revolving around the current state of affairs of the airport industry will be supplemented by an exhibit hall with over 250 vendors ready to assist the industry in meeting its challenges with their products and services. This is THE industry event to attend in 2009!

This annual conference will bring together airports, airlines, consultants, manufacturers and key FAA officials to discuss and debate the latest technology and techniques in large hub airport winter operations. Through detailed presentations, technology updates and informative roundtable discussions, this conference will allow key airport, airline and air traffic control decision-makers to address complex issues surrounding winter operations at large hub airports. Various 2008-2009 winter operations scenarios also will be evaluated and discussed.

Each year, AAAE and the International Association of Airport Executives (IAAE) hosts several high-level meetings outside of the U.S. These events create the ideal environment for top-level international airport executives to share and exchange information within an ever-changing global aviation industry.
