inter airport Europe will provide new business opportunities and the chance to network with professionals

To support the recovery journey of the airport industry in light of the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, inter airport Europe will be launching its first digital event from 20 – 21 April 2021: inter airport CONNECT. It will be the perfect opportunity where the entire airport industry will get together, a chance for the airport community to reconnect and for exhibitors to provide a preview of their latest innovations ahead of the live show in November.

inter airport Europe, as the world’s pioneering airport exhibition, will provide new business opportunities and the chance to network with professionals from airports worldwide. Webinars, held by key partners of inter airport Europe, will run alongside the matchmaking options and product presentations by exhibitors.

Unique international attendance

“There have been significant changes in the past year and as a result, the airport industry was reshaped for years to come – and as the leading event internationally we are committed to support the airport industry on its runway to recovery. Hence, we are launching the digital event as part of this recovery journey, for the airport community to meet and exchange and for visitors to get a first glimpse of what to expect at the show in November.”

“ In addition, inter airport CONNECT will form the base of our efforts to hold inter airport Europe in November in a hybrid format, combining the live show with digital elements so we are able to secure the unique international attendance that our exhibitors are expecting from the worldwide pioneering event in the airport industry,” says Olaf Freier, Portfolio Director of inter airport Europe at the organiser Mack-Brooks Exhibitions.

“Digitalisation, sustainability, the smart airport – these are of course important topics in the airport industry at the moment. Many exhibitors and our show partners are telling us that they used the past year to work on innovations and ways to advance their digitalisation efforts in order to improve cost efficiency at airports. This means that on top of offering the industry the meeting place it needs in April and November this year, participants can expect innovation and a lot of recent content that keeps the industry connected,” concludes Olaf Freier.
