Future Travel Experience Global
28-30 October 2024 | Location: Long Beach Convention Center, California
The definitive event for innovators, technologists, designers, collaborators and gamechangers
FTE Global is now widely renowned as "the CES for aviation", and the show now lives in Los Angeles (which is gearing up to stage the 2028 Olympics), and will be co-located once more alongside APEX/IFSA EXPO, to create the largest gathering of air transport executives from around the world in North America in 2024 to network, learn, forge new partnerships, collaborate and be inspired on their next moves to transform their organizations' passenger experience, business performance, innovation, and sustainability strategies.
Our event theme that will permeate every aspect of the show will be "Transforming Air Transport" and attendees will have access to a large-scale end-to-end exhibition, multiple conference tracks featuring inspirational speakers from inside and outside of the air transport industry, unique social and networking events, co-creation workshops, government agency briefings, Think Tank unveilings, our largest ever startup showcase, and powerful networking tools so that engagement opportunities between participants are unrivaled.
“The great thing about FTE Global for our team is the ability to understand what others are doing and get great new ideas. It really helps get that creative engine firing.”
Scott Kirby, CEO, United Airlines
