What Our Community Says
Hear directly from the airline, airport, and industry leaders who make APEX FTE EMEA the definitive event for air transport innovation.
“It has been very valuable for us to network with our airport partners here at APEX FTE Dublin, as well listening into what the future is going to be bringing us, considering the customer experience and evolution of the airport environment. We also had a chance to meet with some service providers, which may be contributing to our products and …offers. So, it’s a great opportunity to meet with stakeholders from the airport environment and exchange ideas. In terms of networking, I think it’s wonderful that we are given the opportunity to set up some catch-up times with the other attendees, and it gives us an opportunity to meet with senior executives of the airports and other companies too. I’m pleased that we’ve been attending APEX FTE Dublin for a long time now and we will hopefully be back again next year. ”
