Future Travel Experience Global

9 TO 11 September 2025 | Long Beach Convention Center, California

The definitive event for innovators, technologists, designers, collaborators, and gamechangers

Widely regarded as "the CES for aviation", FTE Global continues to redefine the future of air transport, returning to Los Angeles in 2025 – a city buzzing with innovation as it prepares to host the 2028 Olympics. Join us for this landmark event, once again co-located with APEX/IFSA Global EXPO, forming the largest and most influential gathering of air transport executives in North America.

For 2025, we are embracing the theme "Collaborative Transformation", which will shape every aspect of the show. As the industry navigates its most pivotal era, collaboration across stakeholders has never been more critical to achieving meaningful transformation. This event will unite visionaries and leaders from airlines, airports, technology providers, government agencies, and beyond to work together and drive innovation that redefines air transport for a new era.

With record-breaking worldwide attendance expected, FTE Global 2025 promises to deliver the networking opportunity of the year. Our continued partnership with APEX/IFSA ensures a comprehensive experience, seamlessly blending insights from the airport and inflight worlds under one roof. Together, we’ll explore how collaboration can unlock new opportunities to enhance passenger experiences, boost business performance, and advance sustainability goals. Attendees will have access to a large-scale end-to-end exhibition, multiple conference tracks, unique social and networking events, co-creation workshops, government agency briefings, Think Tank unveilings, and powerful networking tools so that engagement opportunities between participants are unrivaled.
