The 2026 conference is at Hilton Rosemont/Chicago O'Hare in Rosemont, Illinois.
The organizer lists attendance of 150 industry professionals.
The audience includes industry professionals specializing in airport operations, maintenance and planning.
It is most useful for airport operations, maintenance and planning staff in the Great Lakes region, since the program pairs general sessions with breakouts on those three areas and the crowd is about 150 practitioners. Sponsors such as Cryotech Deicing Technology, Alamo Group Snow and Ice and PlaneSkate suggest an airfield-maintenance flavour, which suits buyers of winter operations equipment; executives wanting a national audience or large-scale exhibit hall will find a small regional chapter meeting at the Hilton Rosemont/Chicago O'Hare narrower.
Attendees at airport association conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt or blazer, with a jacket for any evening function.
