7 listedQuestions people ask
5 answeredIt starts on November 8, 2026.
The conference is held in Chicago, Illinois.
The stated audience includes airport and airline leaders, aviation sustainability and environmental specialists, government officials, suppliers, academics, and media professionals.
It is most useful for airport sustainability and environmental staff, since the speakers are practitioners from airports such as Austin-Bergstrom, Dallas Fort Worth, Miami and San Francisco, which allows direct comparison of programs between peers. Consultants and equipment suppliers find buyers in attendance, with sponsors such as RS&H, Mead & Hunt and ITW GSE present, while attendees from outside aviation would find the content too sector-specific.
Attendees at aviation industry conferences usually wear business casual, with suits for executives and board members; Chicago in November is cold, so a warm coat is needed.
