The event is jointly organised by ACI Europe and ACI Asia-Pacific, and hosted by ADAC, bringing Airport Exchange for the first time to the region.

The exhibition and conference opened with a keynote speech given by Jim Bennett, chief executive of ADAC.

“ADAC is extremely proud to be given this opportunity to play a pivotal role in the exchange of expertise and industry insights by hosting an event of such a multi-faceted nature and international standing. Since its launch in 2006, Airport Exchange has become ACI Europe’s largest airport conference and exhibition, and our close relationship with ACI and active membership in ACI Asia-Pacific demonstrates our commitment to supporting the common objectives of airports across the world,” Bennett said.
