Why attend as a delegate?The Airline & Aerospace MRO & Operations IT Conference – AMERICAS follows the same format as the highly successful EMEA and Asia/Pacific versions.

It is the only event in the world which addresses the strategic issues surrounding the development of technology behind improvements in maintenance and operating costs of aircraft. The topics discussed and the software available to demo in the exhibition hall offer a one-stop solution for airlines, other aircraft operators and MROs to seeking to implement or discover more about how new technology can streamline and increase their MRO and operating efficiency as well as reduce costs dramatically.

The conference has become a must attend event for airlines and MRO providers seeking to:• Install new MRO and/or Operations IT Systems• Network with fellow airlines, aircraft operators and MROs about common problems and how to overcome them• Learn about the latest upgrades available from the world’s major vendors and how best to incorporate them into

and hardware IT systems from the world’s leading vendors. Over 20 vendors will be exhibiting their software at Miami. See over page for a full list of vendors booked to date and the conference floor plan.

• A two day agenda of presentations, given by industry experts and the airline/MRO IT users themselves, discuss the latest trends and innovations in this rapidly developing sector of the industry. See pages 4 and 5 for a full list of the presentation titles.
