Being held in conjunction with the Saudi Airport Exhibition, conference attendees will receive complimentary admission to the exhibition - a $900-1,200 value!

Hosted by the International Association of Airport Executives (IAAE) in partnership with AAAE, the Global Aviation Issues Conference will be the ultimate platform for U.S. companies seeking to establish a presence in the Middle East's aviation sector and expand their global reach, and for U.S. airport executives aiming to stay ahead of industry trends.
