AIR Convention Asia 2021 - DATE TO BE CONFIRMED
Event Information
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the AIR Convention Asia 2020 event has been postponed to 2021.
We believe this decision works in the best interest of the health and safety of our team members, speakers, exhibitors, and all attendees.
Safety concerns together with coronavirus travel restrictions also became a reason for some of the airlines and speakers to cancel their participation in the conference. As a platform built around quality networking, we assume this would inevitably result in a loss of value promised to our customers.
Alternatively, we are taking a path of adaptation to a new digital reality and launching a project named AIR Convention Digital Week united by the theme “Next steps for aviation amid COVID-19: a survival guide for aviators”. Thus, the event, earlier postponed from May to June 2020, will now take place in an online setup and have a different angle.
With Digital Week, we are focusing our efforts on assisting aviation businesses in these economically uncertain times. During five days of fruitful discussions, invited experts will talk over the most effective ways of recovery for the aviation business amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
AIR Convention Digital Week will combine the two most significant values of the conference: serving as a point of in-depth discussions and a business networking platform.
Please, accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by the changes. Thank you for understanding and we look forward to you joining us in the AIR Convention online experience.
More information about AIR Convention Digital Week will be available soon.
