Three eventswhere innovation, retailing and operations meet

Join us in Dublin for APEX FTE EMEA, APEX FTE Ancillary & Retailing, and the brand-new FTE Smart Ramp & Baggage Innovation Summit – co-located to deliver the region’s most comprehensive gathering of air transport leaders.

APEX/FTE EMEA

The region's air transport innovation event brings together digital leaders, creative designers and progressive minds to reimagine travel. The 2026 theme will challenge the industry to break new ground across operations, customer experience, commercial, and sustainability.

APEX/FTE Ancillary & Retailing

This event unites senior executives to share strategies and shape the future of airline and airport retailing. With unique insights from our Advisory Board and curated content, this boutique gathering offers unmatched opportunities to connect and learn from peers.

FTE Smart Ramp & Baggage

This new summit provides a dedicated home for those driving the revolution in autonomous aircraft turnaround and baggage handling. It brings together pioneers who want to collaborate on creating safer, smarter and more efficient ramp and baggage operations worldwide.

Why Co-Located?


By bringing three events together, we are creating the most complete platform for airlines, airports and their partners to share ideas, forge connections, and shape the future of air transport. The co-located format means more connections, more collaboration, and more value.

  • Cross-industry networking: Airlines, airports, retailers, suppliers, and innovators all under one roof.
  • Expanded exhibition floor: Explore solutions spanning digital, retailing, ramp and baggage.
  • Unmatched social programme: Curated events to spark meaningful conversations and lasting partnerships.

One pass provides full access across all events – unlocking a broader community, richer content, and opportunities for collaboration that no standalone event can offer.

“It has been a really great event. I attend most years and I think the organisation is excellent. The networking opportunities here are fantastic and the conference sessions have been very interesting, with new ideas for us to collaborate on. The range of exhibitors is also very good – from walking around the exhibition floor and speaking to the companies showcasing their technologies and services, it is clear that it is a very diverse and well put-together set of vendors here. For me, FTE EMEA and FTE Ancillary & Retailing is always educational, and we have had good conversations to follow-up on after the event. I will 100% be back – I absolutely love the FTE events.”

The conference sessions have also been very good quality, with the speakers sharing real examples of what their companies are doing, so you can really bring some great learning back home with you.
