Smarter at every step

The current year’s theme of ‘Smarter at every step’, drawn from Barcelona’s status as a Smart City and European ‘Capital of Innovation’– bolstered by its image as a place that ‘inspires innovation’, a hub of creativity and design, and a city bustling with emerging artists, architecture and technological development.

Against this backdrop, we’ll be contemplating the need for new, creative thinking, along with more innovation to deliver transformation in the air transport industry. The fantastic speaker line-up included CEOs, CTOs and VPs from the likes of Star Alliance, Aéroports de Montréal, SITA, Ryanair, United Airlines, IATA and more.

These speakers shared their thought-leadership into how the air transport industry needs to prepare for the increasingly sophisticated (and demanding) connected traveler by looking beyond the horizon with breakthroughs in connected air travel, delving into the journey towards being more ‘joined up’, exploring what connected air travels means for airports and airlines and looking into ways that will deliver an ‘always on’ travel experience for all.
