We’re less than two weeks away from our Montreal conference and the agenda for the speaker programme is now full, with Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions, Moya Aero and Ferrovial completing the line-up.
Taking place from Wednesday, May 1st to Friday, May 3rd, tickets are on sale. We will start with a industry tour of a manufacturer within Montreal in the afternoon of the 1st, with a pre-event drinks reception taking place in the evening. This has been kindly sponsored by CAE.
On Thursday, May 2nd will be our main conference programme at Le Mount Stephen Hotel, featuring panel discussions, keynote presentations and fireside chats about the global Advanced Air Mobility market. This will be between 9am and 5pm.
We will then have our awards ceremony for our very first AAM Awards from 6pm — 7.30pm. The platform to submit entries will remain open until Friday, April 19th, with 19 categories to choose from. This will also take place at Le Mount Stephen.
And on Friday, May 3rd, we’ve got a tour booked at ICAO’s Montreal Headquarters. This is scheduled for a 10am start and will last about an hour. Once the tour has finished, this concludes our event programme.
