Strategy & Practice Roundtables

GAD is the airport industry's premier networking event.

So that you have all the time you need to get to the bottom of important topics on the agenda and greater opportunity to get to know other delegates, we are running a new format to take the place of the usual power point presentations. The Strategy and Practise roundtables are designed to facilitate interactivity, greater discussion and more networking! The format runs as follows:

  • Each strategy roundtable is hosted by a key expert in the area
  • The roundtables last 20 minutes &  are repeated 3 times
  • No need to pre register - if the session you want is full just go to another one and wait for the next round to start
  • After 20 minutes a whistle will blow, move on if you want, if not carry on networking!

NEW Central European Venue

 

In 2009 GAD is flying into one of Europe's most historical cities - Berlin! 300 Airport CEOs, financiers, investors and advisors will be enjoying 4 days of interactive debate, informative presentations and non-stop networking!

With its unique urban landscape and historical legacy, Berlin is a growing city of culture and learning and one of Europe's most exciting cities. One of the most interesting hotels in historical Berlin Mitte, the 5 star Ra disson Blu Hotel features the world's largest cylindrical aquarium with 2,500 tropical fish. The AquaDom is 25 metres high and situated in the hotel lobby. It is an excellent location from which to explore the old city sights.
