Join fellow leaders and technologists across Aviation and Transport for an unscripted, high-stakes deep dive into the future of real-time operations. While legacy batch windows and decades-old messaging formats fail to keep up with disruption, forward-thinking carriers are turning live flight updates, turnaround milestones, and crew legality signals into an immediate operational edge. Discover how to eliminate information friction across airport stands, master irregular operations (IROPS), and lay the real-time data foundation required for autonomous, agentic AI in mission-critical environments.
We kindly ask that those only from related industries attend due to session capacity.
