Why attend the EXPO?

Peter Spurway, Vice President at Halifax International Airport Authority, Canada:
"The conference is remarkable for the quality of questions that we receive and the people we meet, who come from all over the world. The networking opportunities are immense – we can learn a lot by talking with each other in the break times, and during the reception. It’s wonderful how you can make a connection very quickly. A lot of us are facing the same issues; and we’re looking for similar answers. To gather so many industry leaders in one place at one time creates a wealth of networking opportunities. And the presentations and trade show put the latest and greatest on display."

1. Focus on passenger terminals
Passenger Terminal EXPO’s genuine focus on the terminal makes it unique, allowing participants to engage in detailed, relevant and stimulating industry debate and learning through a wide variety of conferences and exhibition products and services that are of specific interest to the airport and airline industries.

2. Passenger Terminal EXPO conference
The conference will address current airport and airline business-critical issues and solutions that will help the aviation industry overcome the current global economic crisis, while providing progressive thinking for future development and proven measures for maintaining passenger custom and satisfaction.

3. A unique event bringing together airport and airline professionals
Most events concentrate on either the airport or airline sector, but Passenger Terminal EXPO is uniquely designed to provide a powerful platform for the two groups to interact and share common issues.

4. An international industry showcase
More than 150 suppliers! Passenger Terminal EXPO travels each year to a different venue in Europe and elsewhere around the world. It has generated worldwide recognition and support. The international nature of the participants means that views, new ideas, innovations, new products and services presented at the event have a truly global perspective.

5. Totally comprehensive industry representation
We expect to see 150+ suppliers, 2,000+ exhibition visitors, 850+ conference delegates and 200+ expert speakers. The exhibition and conference attract professionals from airport and airline teams as well as their suppliers for areas including design, management, planning and design, baggage handling, security, border control, check-in, finance, IT, architecture, purchasing, engineering, seating, parking, retail and concessions, customer service, PRT and the environment. The event delivers participants from every area of the passenger terminal industry.

6. Market intelligence – hot off the press
As an independent world-leading platform for the passenger terminal industry, Passenger Terminal EXPO in Copenhagen will be the place to hear about the latest projects and industry trends and developments, see technology in action and catch up on the latest views of industry influencers. It is an opportunity to make informed purchasing decisions, and be one step ahead of the competition.

7. Access new markets
The powerful combination and spread of the exhibition and conference will give all participants the scope to identify and make contact with new market opportunities. With an expected 3,500 people under one roof, spanning the globe, we guarantee access to new markets and new ideas.

8. Senior-level speakers representative of the passenger terminal sector
We ensure that each year the conference reflects the topics of key interest to all potential delegates, and never more so than this year when financial challenges are top priority (while not losing sight of design, planning, operations and security, and all other important issues). This is the place for innovative ideas and solutions that are critical for the industry’s future success.

9. Independent and unbiased conference
While strongly supported by industry bodies such as major airports, airlines, aviation authorities and regulators, the conference is independent and encourages a free and frank exchange of views and ideas, and sometimes even heated debate. Participation in such a highly authoritative environment allows businesses to be associated with a quality educational programme.
