6 answeredAirport Development & Investment Conference 2026 took place October 8–9, 2026.
The organizer reported 500+ attendees.
It took place at JW Marriott, L.A. Live.
The published audience included airport authorities, investors, developers, and delivery partners.
It was most useful for airport executives, infrastructure investors and developers working on P3s, concessions and capital raising, since the program covered those structures and the 100+ speakers were billed as including Barclays, Carlyle Airport Group, Tikehau Star Infra, PANYNJ and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta. Operations and airside staff who focus on day-to-day running of a terminal would get less, as the content centred on financing and delivery, and with 500+ attendees it was a deal-oriented rather than a technical forum.
Attendees at infrastructure finance and airport industry conferences usually wear business professional or sharp business casual, with suits common among bankers and investors.
