Sponsorship Deliverables
Exhibitors with sponsorship packages are requested to review and confirm their sponsorship entitlements and deliverables at the earliest opportunity. This will help ensure all benefits are activated and delivered in accordance with the agreed package.

 

Where applicable, sponsors may be required to provide logos, advertisements, promotional materials, speaker information, branding artwork, and other supporting assets by the specified deadlines.

Co-Exhibitor Information
Exhibitors planning to share their stand with co-exhibitors are required to submit the details of all participating companies for approval and inclusion in the official event records.

 

Providing co-exhibitor information ensures that participating companies can be properly represented across relevant event platforms and promotional channels, where applicable.

Exhibitor Badge Registration
Each exhibiting company will be provided with one access to the Exhibitor Pass Portal. We recommend assigning a dedicated team member to manage badge registrations and related exhibitor information.

 

Please ensure all badge registrations are completed before the event to avoid delays during onsite badge printing and collection.

 

The Exhibitor Pass Portal also includes an Invite Your Network feature, allowing exhibitors to invite customers, partners, prospects, and industry contacts to attend the event. This helps increase engagement at your stand, strengthens existing business relationships, supports lead generation efforts, and maximises your company’s visibility before and during the exhibition. Visitors who register through your invitation can also be tracked, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness of your outreach efforts.

Business Engagement Programme
The Business Engagement Programme is designed to facilitate pre-scheduled meetings between exhibitors and qualified industry professionals, helping participants connect with potential customers, partners, suppliers, and key decision-makers before and during the event.

 

To participate effectively, exhibitors are required to provide the details of the designated point of contact(s) who will be responsible for managing meeting requests and attending scheduled meetings. This information is strictly required to ensure that meeting invitations are directed to the appropriate representatives and that all confirmed appointments are managed efficiently.

Providing the correct point of contact is important as it:

  • Ensures timely responses to meeting requests.
  • Helps maximise meeting opportunities before the event.
  • Improves the quality and relevance of recommended connections.
  • Prevents missed appointments and scheduling conflicts.
  • Supports a smoother and more productive networking experience for both exhibitors and attendees.

Once the platform is live, exhibitors will be able to build their company profile, highlight their products and services, browse participant profiles, send meeting requests, and manage their meeting schedules through the platform. We encourage exhibitors to keep their profiles updated and actively respond to meeting requests to maximise their participation and business opportunities at the event.

VIP Buyers' Programme
The VIP Buyers’ Programme is an exclusive initiative designed to connect exhibitors with senior decision-makers from airports, aviation authorities, government entities, airlines, ground handling companies, and other key stakeholders involved in procurement, infrastructure development, operations, and technology investment across the aviation sector.

 

Access to VIP Buyers is reserved exclusively for exhibitors, providing a unique opportunity to engage directly with qualified decision-makers actively seeking solutions, products, and services relevant to their organisation’s needs.

To support the VIP Buyers’ Programme, exhibitors are required to:

  • Nominate the designated point of contact(s) who will be responsible for managing meeting requests and attending scheduled appointments. This information is strictly required to ensure meetings are directed to the appropriate representatives and managed efficiently.
  • Submit a list of their Top 5 VIP Buyers they would like to meet during the event.
  • Identify the products, services, or solutions they wish to present to potential buyers to support the meeting planning process.

Providing this information enables the event team to facilitate relevant business introductions, coordinate meeting opportunities more effectively, and help exhibitors engage with decision-makers aligned with their business objectives.

Airport Excellence Awards
All exhibitors are encouraged to participate in the Airport Excellence Awards, a prestigious programme that recognises outstanding achievements, innovations, and best practices across the global airport and aviation industry.

The awards provide an excellent opportunity for companies to showcase their products, services, technologies, projects, and success stories to an audience of industry leaders, airport operators, government representatives, and aviation stakeholders.

Benefits of participating include:

  • Industry recognition and credibility.
  • Increased visibility among key decision-makers.
  • Promotion of innovative solutions and successful projects.
  • Enhanced brand positioning within the aviation sector.
  • Opportunities to celebrate and share achievements with the wider industry community.

Exhibitors are encouraged to review the available award categories and identify suitable submissions that demonstrate excellence, innovation, operational performance, sustainability, customer experience, or technological advancement.

Submission Deadline: 15 September 2026

We encourage exhibitors to begin preparing their submissions early and take advantage of this opportunity to gain recognition from the global aviation community.

Conference Access
Global Airports Forum features a series of high-level conferences and industry forums that bring together airport operators, aviation authorities, government representatives, airlines, infrastructure developers, technology providers, and industry experts to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the aviation sector.

 

Please note that conference access is subject to the pass type included in your participation package. Not all exhibitor badges automatically include access to conference sessions.

 

Exhibitors who wish to attend the conferences are encouraged to review their entitlement or contact the event team to explore available upgrade options, where applicable.

 

Conference participation offers valuable opportunities to:

  • Gain insights from industry leaders and subject matter experts.
  • Stay informed about the latest market developments and emerging trends.
  • Learn about upcoming airport projects, investments, and strategic initiatives.
  • Expand professional networks through engagement with senior industry stakeholders.
  • Identify new business and partnership opportunities.

Further details regarding conference programmes, access privileges, and registration requirements will be shared closer to the event.

Operations And Stand Build-Up
To ensure a smooth and successful participation, exhibitors are encouraged to familiarise themselves with all operational requirements relating to stand construction, venue access, health and safety regulations, logistics, contractor access, and move-in and move-out procedures.

 

A detailed Exhibitor Manual containing all operational guidelines, technical regulations, forms, deadlines, and stand build-up requirements will be made available separately and can be accessed through the links provided in this Welcome Pack.

 

Exhibitors and their appointed contractors are responsible for reviewing and complying with all operational requirements and deadlines outlined in the Exhibitor Manual to ensure timely approval of stand designs, smooth venue access, and efficient stand installation.
