OUR STORY

After our largest event ever, Aviation Festival Americas continues to bring together CEOs, CTOs, CCOs, and CMOs from leading airlines such as Delta Air Lines, United, and American, along with Latin American carriers like Copa, AeroMéxico, and LATAM. The event is also a critical gathering for the CEOs, COOs, and CIOs for major airports like Hartsfield Jackson, Orlando, Denver, Miami, Toronto, and more.

Our 2019 event boasted a phenomenal lineup of keynote speakers, including the CEOs of Viva Air, Azul, and Flair Airlines, the EVP of People from American Airlines, the Presidents of both Swoop and Air Canada Rouge, and the CEO of Pittsburgh International Airport.

In 2019 we successfully launched the AIviation track by bringing together heads of emerging technology, innovation, and data science from the likes of WestJet, Allegiant, Viva Air Labs, Avianca and United. We also gathered the leading women in aviation from American, Delta, and both Denver and Pittsburgh International Airports to see how the industry can create a better culture of innovation, inclusion and diversity.

New for 2020, we are launching 3 new brands with IFEC, Air Retail & Payments, and Airline Revenue & Distribution. These brands will dive deeper into irregular operations and turnaround management, the connected cabin and customer, and the next generation of airline revenue and distribution.

The event will boast 9 different conference tracks consisting of Aviation IT, World Low Cost Congress, Air Retail & Payments, Airline Revenue & Distribution, Air Xperience, Airport T.Ex, AIviation, Aviation Marketing and IFEC.

Every year we have grown our total number of sponsors, attendees, and speakers. The 2019 event consisted of 75 sponsors, 320+ speakers, and 1000+ attendees. Furthermore, 62 different airlines and airports contributed to 40% of the total audience, creating a haven to network and access key decision makers from airlines and airports around the globe.

As the aviation sector continues to rely on technology and revenue, we recognize the importance of creating an event where you can easily connect with the top IT airline and airport leaders who are moving the industry forward. The 2019 event attracted the VP of IT Integrations of JetBlue, the MD of Customer Technology of United, the CIO of Orlando International Airport, and the Senior Director Direct of Distribution for Lufthansa, Swiss & Austrian Airlines.

By attending Aviation Festival Americas 2020, you will gain complete access to the North and South American airline market that is traditionally difficult to penetrate. Most importantly, the festival allows you to meet real buyers and decision makers from airlines and airports.
