And in 2009 the summit will be even bigger
Following the success of the previous four years, the Australia Pacific Aviation Summit is set to return in 2009 to greater heights.
The Australia Pacific Aviation Summit was initiated in 2005 and has since been held annually. The event is designed to create a national and regional interface between the private and public sectors of the Australia-Pacific aviation industry. The event integrates Australian aviation with the mainstream of global aviation, offering opportunities for networking to create the needed change in process and enhance the quality of leadership. It assists in setting the agenda for incisive discourse on key developmental issues facing the aviation sector in Australia.
Conference participants are largely key decision-making executives and principal officers critical to policy orientation processes of both the private and public sectors of the aviation industry as well as allied sectors such as banking, insurance, multilateral development institutions, trade, tourism and suppliers.
The 2009 event concept
Planning for the future requires understanding of the dynamics that will shape the air transportation system. And that's the unrelenting focus of this conference.
This is the conference that airline, airport, and aviation leaders attend, the one that provides attendees with data, information, and insights available nowhere else.
Exclusive: Discussions With Industry Leaders
Real Data From Real Leaders. In addition to sessions providing clear, direct, and no-waffling forecasts of aircraft demand, airline strategies, and airport traffic growth, the people speaking at our conference are ones who really are calling the shots when it comes to aviation's future.
But, unlike at other conferences, they won't be just speaking. We'll be discussing aviation issues with them and getting their insight of the future. The format of this conference is different. Our objective is to inform, not inflict death by PowerPoint. And we don't have panel sessions - they tend to just dance around issues and leave the attendees with a lot of rambling supposition.
We have in-depth, one-on-one interviews with our speakers, where an industry expert poses insightful questions and fields input from the attendees. This innovative and informative format has been so well received that other conferences are now trying to copy it.
