Airside Operations & Safety
The track is geared toward all airport operations and safety professionals who work on a daily basis to ensure a safe operating environment for the traveling public. Sessions will focus on implementation of the new FAA requirements on safety management systems (SMS); lessons learned from recent runway safety, operational disruptions, and high-profile, safety incidents; the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other technology to enhance safety; airside drivers training and ramp safety; and more.
Emergency Management
The track is targeted at emergency management personnel who manage the unexpected events at airports across the country. We have a great lineup of sessions that will focus on improving your organization's simulated response drills; understanding emergency reporting protocols for airports and airlines; examining case studies and airport response efforts to major events from the past year; strengthening operational resiliency in the wake of an increasing number of natural disasters; managing an operational response to a cyber attack; and more.
Emerging Aviation Technology
Sponsored by: Woolpert, Inc.
We are living in one of the most unique times in aviation history, with emerging entrants like electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, drones, and other innovative aircraft creating new opportunities and challenges for airports. This track will focus significantly on advanced air mobility (AAM), hydrogen-powered aircraft, drones, and other emerging aviation technologies, including how to safely integrate these new entrants into the airport environment and develop the appropriate infrastructure needed to support these aircraft.
Geospatial Technologies
Sponsored by: C&S Companies
The track is perfect for airport professionals that regularly work with specialized technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Computer Aided Design (CAD). Attendees will hear from experts who will discuss case studies and the hottest topics and trends facing the airport geospatial community, including the use of GIS to support airport operations and improve decision-making, different use cases for airport GIS, asset management, the use of AI in airport GIS programs, data collection methods, and much more.
