Delegate and exhibitor testimonials
“There is so much taking place in the Premium Conference and on the Expo Stage that I wish I could be in two places at once. In the exhibition, it’s great to see the improvements in technology and what’s new in the market. It’s also an opportunity to meet with my customers, clients and suppliers here in one location in Singapore. The attendees are right in the markets that we are interested in. I look forward to coming back next year.”
“The event is very good and very beneficial to airlines. The conference speakers have been real experts sharing their insights. Meanwhile, in the exhibition there are many IT and service infrastructure providers, so it’s very beneficial for new ideas.”
“It has been amazing. Connectivity and personalisation are two of our key objectives for 2023 and we’re seeing so much of it here at the expo, which has been so great for us. We’re really grateful that we had the privilege to come here. We’ve already decided to attend next year.”
“FTE APEX Asia Expo has been fantastic – it has been incredibly stimulating, with lots of great ideas, interesting people and fantastic talks, so there’s really a lot to take home and think about. The exhibition has had some fantastic suppliers and a lot of companies I didn’t know before. I’m already looking forward to coming back next year.”
“In 2023, this is one of the best shows we have attended. We have had a very busy stand with a lot of high-quality leads, so it has been an absolutely wonderful experience for us. For 2024, this event for the Asia Pacific region will absolutely be a must.”
“Our experience has been great. What we’ve enjoyed is meeting professionals across the aviation industry, having very deep conversations and learning from them, as well as sharing our own journey. It has been a very diverse range of people we have met in terms of networking, so it has been a very enriching experience. I would love to keep coming to this event.”
“FTE APEX Asia Expo has been a great networking event. We’ve had a steady stream of visitors, some very good meetings and made some good new connections. The social and networking events have been very strong. There’s been a good quality of visitor here and we’ve had the opportunity to meet people we otherwise wouldn’t have. We will definitely be coming back again next year – it’s an important event for us.”
“We have been able to showcase many new technologies to airlines and airports, so they can visualise how they are going to help them through transformation and digitalisation. The quality of visitors has been great. There has been a lot of regional, Asia Pacific customers coming through. This is one of the main events for us in Asia Pacific.”
