Call for speakers

We are now building the agenda for Day 1 and Day 2 and are inviting companies to contribute with presentations on these four key topics:

• Major Air-Rail Projects
• Technology and Innovation to improve air-rail experience or wider airport access
• Major Airport Access Projects
• Best Practice in Stakeholder Engagement

We are looking for “outside the box” thinking when delivering major air-rail and airport access projects, examples of collaboration and partnerships, forward thinking and new technology implementation. Please note that all presentations will be 10 minute long, to keep it focused and engaging. We are also open to any other suggestions that do not fit in the four categories.
