In partnership with Aeroporti di Roma, the International Airport Summit moves beyond the “what’s next” to deliver the “how-to” of modern airport operations. Our mission is to bring the world’s most innovative airports together to experience the actionable intelligence of International Airport Review in a live environment.
Through expert insight, debate, and structured collaboration, we enable leaders to challenge assumptions, share real-world solutions, and accelerate transformation. From scaling through smart growth and mastering intelligent operations to leveraging AI and automation for workforce challenges, this is where the blueprint for tomorrow’s airport is drawn. Join us in Rome to design a faster, cleaner, and tech-driven future.
A standout feature of the International Airport Summit, our exclusive Roundtables are designed to deliver real, actionable intelligence through honest, peer-to-peer discussion between senior airport leaders.
Participants will also enjoy a full VIP summit experience, including an exclusive welcome drinks reception at the Aeroporti di Roma Innovation Hub, hosted by the Aeroporti di Roma team on the evening of the 10th November.
“At Aeroporti di Roma, innovation is a strategic lever through which we continuously evolve our infrastructure and strengthen our contribution to the aviation ecosystem. The International Airport Summit is fully aligned with this approach, enabling operators, innovators and startups, institutions and partners to act as a system, set a common direction, and accelerate the delivery of solutions that will shape the future of our sector. In this context, Rome Fiumicino Airport is strengthening its role as a key hub for global connectivity, while positioning itself as a trusted platform the industry can rely on to tackle its most pressing challenges and turn them into concrete, scalable solutions.”
True innovation happens where sectors collide. The International Airport Summit 2026 brings together the senior leadership from airports, airlines, and aviation authorities to build a unified path forward.
