Dis­cus­sions are set to explore com­mer­cial­i­sa­tion, region­al air mobil­i­ty, air­craft devel­op­ment, reg­u­la­tion, air­space inte­gra­tion, infra­struc­ture, con­nec­tiv­i­ty and the wider future of Euro­pean avi­a­tion.

How­ev­er, the three-day event will offer del­e­gates more than the main con­fer­ence pro­gramme.

Three days of industry insight and networking

The event will take off on Wednes­day, Octo­ber 14th, with an exclu­sive site vis­it of Musee Aero­scopia, giv­ing del­e­gates the oppor­tu­ni­ty to expe­ri­ence Toulouse’s world-renowned aero­space her­itage before the main con­fer­ence gets under­way.

Del­e­gates will also come togeth­er that evening for net­work­ing drinks, which are being held at ADS Group’s offices in Toulouse, pro­vid­ing an infor­mal set­ting to meet fel­low atten­dees, speak­ers and indus­try lead­ers ahead of the main con­fer­ence day.

The main con­fer­ence will then take place on Thurs­day, Octo­ber 15th and being host­ed by Ascen­dance, the French hybrid-elec­tric avi­a­tion com­pa­ny devel­op­ing its ATEA hybrid-elec­tric VTOL air­craft and STERNA propul­sion sys­tem. The speak­er pro­gramme will fea­ture keynote pre­sen­ta­tions, fire­side chats and pan­el dis­cus­sions focused on the chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties fac­ing the glob­al AAM mar­ket.

The event will then con­clude on Fri­day, Octo­ber 16th, with an exclu­sive fac­to­ry tour at Ascen­dance. The behind-the-scenes vis­it will give del­e­gates an oppor­tu­ni­ty to see the com­pa­ny’s engi­neer­ing, man­u­fac­tur­ing and test­ing facil­i­ties and learn more about the prac­ti­cal chal­lenges involved in devel­op­ing and bring­ing next-gen­er­a­tion air­craft to mar­ket.

The con­fer­ence pro­gramme is being struc­tured around four key themes: Com­mer­cial­is­ing Aer­i­al Ser­vices, Scal­ing Auton­o­my, Inte­grat­ing Air­space, and Build­ing Europe’s Avi­a­tion Future.

To read more about the top­ics and themes, please vis­it our main event page.

Dis­cus­sions will explore how the sec­tor can move beyond demon­stra­tions and pilot projects towards scal­able, com­mer­cial­ly viable oper­a­tions.

Toulouse pro­vides a fit­ting back­drop for these con­ver­sa­tions, with the city recog­nised as one of Europe’s lead­ing aero­space hubs and home to a major con­cen­tra­tion of avi­a­tion exper­tise, research, man­u­fac­tur­ing and inno­va­tion.
