The Changing World of Slots and What It Means for Airports: 300 airports around the world are designated as constrained with two levels of management –facilitated coordination and outright slot control. Whether your airport is a small-hub or the largest hub, access to facilitated or slot-controlled airports is a key issue for domestic and international air service. Historically, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has controlled the seasonal slot allocation process using its Worldwide Slot Guidelines (WSG). ACI is now working to bring change to the slot process and the management of slot allocation. Join this session to learn the latest updates on the WSG Strategic Review and its implications for U.S. and Canadian airport operators.

Risk Management: Planning Before a Crisis Occurs: Crisis management is a hot topic for airports, but often it only relates to managing crisis communications or maintaining or restoring operations. What about the other aspects of crisis management? This panel will explore various risks that aren’t necessarily at the forefront of planning—such as legal/liability and reputational impacts. What contracts can you put in place before an event occurs, and what insurance coverage and services can help you respond to a crisis?

Airport Capital Program Showcase: The last several years have been exciting for planning and development of North American airports featuring innovative terminal, airside, and landside projects at airports of all sizes. Whether these projects have focused on the rehabilitation and re-lifeing existing infrastructure or providing entirely new facilities, there are lessons to be learned from these capital projects.

Cyber Resilience: Safeguarding the Airport: Cyber threats are a complex and ever present risk in today’s operating environment. No one is completely safe from cyber attacks, including airports. Desktop computers, servers, and network devices are not the only vulnerable technologies, as cyber attacks come in many different forms. Every airport should have a cybersecurity program as an executive management goal to protect against risks to physical infrastructure, digital assets, and brand reputation.

Community Outreach Programs; Make Your Airport an Inclusive Representative of its Community: In this session learn about alternative talent pools that can help make your airport a hero in your community! Partnering with local and national partners, airport operators are establishing programs that support workforce development and promote a healthy community. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear about unique programs that provide underserved communities in the United States and Canada with needed resources while benefiting airport operators, airlines and concessionaires.

Sustainability’s Competitive Edge – How Sustainability Strengthens the Airport-Airline Partnership: Mutual success requires that airports and airlines work together towards sustainability. Learn the secrets for an effective partnership from airport CEOs and airline representatives that are working together, using the multiple facets of sustainability (economic viability, operational efficiency, natural resource conservation and social responsibility or EONS). Don’t miss this opportunity to identify the areas where your airport and airlines can better coordinate to achieve sustainability goals, including bringing bio fuels on-line, electrification of ground support equipment and obtaining better operating results at lower costs.
