FTE Global Conferences
Multiple conference tracks with unique formats to create new levels of inspiration and engagement
Hear from the most inspirational speakers from inside and outside of the industry, delivering candid and revealing insights to help future-proof our sector
FTE Global conferences are renowned for being the best in the business and in 2024 we will focus all our content around our overarching show theme of “Transforming Air Transport”.
Whilst looking at the best approaches to transformation for organisations individually we will put a lot of focus across the sector as a whole and review transformation strategies for the big industry challenges and opportunities including digitilisation & technology, physical infrastructure & assets, workforce, commercial & collaboration models, passenger experience, sustainability and much more.
Once more FTE Global attendees will get access to the APEX Thought Leadership Conference, and collectively our conference sessions will deliver a memorable learning experience by providing progressive insights from industry leaders, technology giants, disruptors, parallel industries, academia and startups across the multiple conference tracks that will take place across the show.
We make a concerted effort to differentiate ourselves from the crowd and to embrace conference session formats that facilitate the best level of knowledge-sharing and interactivity. With this in mind, FTE Global 2024 will include a raft of formats, including Think Tanks, Guest Sessions, Symposiums, Briefings, Technical Workshops, and CEO interviews.

The FTE Artificial Intelligence Symposium
Artificial Intelligence technology continues to make a lot of headlines, with generative-A.I. apps winning art contests and large language models such as ChatGPT wowing the world with spookily competent essays and even song lyrics. These moments expanded the sense that we’re approaching an era of pervasive A.I., in which these technologies transform our everyday lives in potentially unpredictable ways, including in commercial aviation.
These transformations will affect the passenger experience and airport- and airline operations, and create ripple effects in other areas, including: the physical footprints of airport’s, personal devices and computing interfaces, and interactions with new kinds of aircraft and ground-based transport.
This symposium will see panellists explore and debate the use cases for AI in aviation and how they could deliver transformational benefits for passengers and industry stakeholders, and the best means to introduce the technology into our organisatons, and sector at large.
