About the Summit
We are pleased to present the 24th Annual AAAE Aviation Security Summit, scheduled to occur December 3-4, 2024, in Washington, DC, at the Hilton Washington DC National Mall - The Wharf.
The 24th Annual AAAE Aviation Security Summit will continue the tradition of AAAE and federal aviation security policymakers coming together at a joint summit to review the complex issues surrounding aviation security today. The issues and challenges facing airport operators, airlines and aviation security professionals, and the leadership at TSA, DHS, and CBP are many, including new cyber threat vectors, surging return travel volumes, and an already strained workforce.
As one of the top-attended security events, this important annual summit brings together senior leadership from TSA, DHS, and CBP with airport operators and other key players in security policy and operations for an intensive exchange. The summit enables the open exchange of ideas and information on the most important security issues facing the aviation industry. This conference provides the perfect opportunity to join in a dialogue with policymakers from TSA, DHS, and CBP, learn about the latest developments regarding security policy and technology, and connect with key aviation security decision-makers.
