The airside operations sector is facing unprecedented challenges, but with these challenges come new opportunities for efficiency, innovation, and growth. Now more than ever, collaborating with industry peers to drive cost savings, operational efficiency, and safety enhancements is essential.
Cutting-edge technologies such as AI, automation, and advanced data analytics are transforming airside operations—optimizing ground handling, streamlining turnaround times, and improving safety protocols. Digital identities, biometrics, and real-time data sharing are enhancing security and operational flow, setting new global benchmarks. These advancements, along with flagship case studies, will be explored in depth throughout our three-day residential programme.
The Airside Strategy Forum is an invitation-only gathering that unites CEOs, COOs, CIOs, IT Directors, Heads of Airside Operations, Ground Handling, Security, and Innovation, alongside carefully selected solution providers. Hosted in a private country retreat, the forum provides a collaborative and immersive environment designed to foster strategic discussions.
Through a mix of pre-booked one-to-one business meetings, speed networking, interactive group discussions, and hosted lunches and dinners, attendees will gain exclusive insights and build valuable connections. Our AI-driven matchmaking and digital networking platform ensures targeted engagement and meaningful interactions that traditional conferences simply cannot replicate.
Situated just outside Guildford, De Vere Horsley Estate offers 51 versatile event spaces across three distinct settings. Whether for conferences, meetings, training sessions, or outdoor teambuilding activities, the estate provides a dynamic and inspiring environment.
At the heart of the venue is the modern Management Centre, where flexible layouts, neutral tones, and abundant natural light create a fresh and energising backdrop. For more intimate gatherings, The Court features a selection of contemporary rooms, recently refurbished with bold colours and stylish décor, while still preserving elements of the original stonework from the historic stables.
For those seeking a truly grand setting, the historic Horsley Towers offers the breathtaking Great Hall. With its striking period features, it provides an elegant atmosphere for private dinners, exclusive receptions, and special events.
More DetailsThe Strategy Forum is unique and unlike any other event. Here is why:
At the Airside Strategy Forum you will experience an exceptionally time efficient engagement model which goes far beyond a traditional exhibition or conference where meetings are usually by chance. With our 'TouchPOINT 12' methodology peers and solution providers are fused together in a range of interactive activities which not only guarantee face time but also ensure you are placed as a key contributor to the group.
Our pre-scheduled business meetings enable solution providers and delegates to book meetings in advance of the event. Each delegate and provider receives a meeting scheduler at the event to ensure you maximise your time out of the office.
Think tank sessions enable intensive research, ideas on collaboration with peers and an opportunity to consult with providers and industry experts on your most burning issues. Develop business with others, organisational direction & strategy and embed, share and obtain expert views to move your organisation forwards.
Our signature P2P connect Speed Networking sessions give delegates the opportunity to meet with numerous solution providers and exchange brief introductions. This allows for the development of valuable business relationships that can be continued in the future.
