88th annual aaae conference and exposition - prospectus

2 | aaae.org/annual

As President and CEO of the American Association of Airport Executives, I’d like to invite you to exhibit and sponsor at the 88th Annual AAAE Conference

& Exposition, the premier annual event for airport executives and our members and partners in the aviation industry.

The goal of AAAE is to provide the best service for our members in advocacy, training and education. The annual conference offers the

perfect venue for the industry to see what makes AAAE one of the most influential and effective associations in aviation.

It is also the perfect venue for the industry to experience your products and services. With a reach of 850 airports through conference marketing and 2,000 attendees, 97 percent of whom have buying power, exhibiting and sponsoring at the conference makes good business sense.

I urge you to participate in the conference as an exhibitor and sponsor to help grow and expand your professional network of customers and partners. With one of the industry’s largest trade show floors, and a hall full of attendees who are extremely interested in learning about your products and services, you don’t want to miss it.

I look forward to seeing you in Houston.

Sincerely, Todd HauptliPresident and CEOAAAE

On behalf of the more than one-thousand employees that make up the Houston Airport System (HAS), I am honored to invite you to Houston, Texas for the 88th Annual AAAE Conference &

Exposition. Houston is one of the most dynamic and diverse cities found anywhere in the world, offering guests a wide range of options in regards to entertainment, dining and cultural experiences. That’s why the HAS team is so confident that the upcoming AAAE Conference & Exposition will be a successful and memorable event for everyone involved.

As America’s fourth-largest city, Houston is home to one of the largest theater districts found anywhere in the country and with more than 7,500 restaurants and eating establishments on hand, Houston offers a myriad of dining options, ranging from traditional Texas barbeque to authentic TexMex and Creole inspired cuisine. Guests can enjoy a museum district consisting of 20 unique facilities, all of which

are located in the downtown region, or can venture out a bit further to take in the fascinating Space Center Houston. I know you’ll enjoy the unique combination of Southern hospitality

and urban chic as you explore Houston.

I look forward to welcoming you in person in May.

Sincerely,

Mario C. DiazDirector of Aviation

Exhibiting with AAAE puts your name and information in front of all of these people.

Once onsite, the highlight of the conference is the exhibit hall, where you have a dedicated audience, 97% of whom have buying power with their airports, waiting to see what you have to offer.

Attendee By Job TitleAttendees are upper- and mid-level management from hundreds of airports from around the U.S. and the world. These executives are the drivers behind projects large and small that rely on industry-leading vendors.

We find it very important to not only exhibit at AAAE’s annual conference and showcase the AirIT brand in an impactful way, but also participate and invest in the pre-conference chapter meetings and engage with the industry’s regional airport leaders. More than anything, the AirIT commitment to the AAAE Annual Conference serves to do much more than connect us with current and potential airport business partners, but also to promote the fact that AirIT is a strategic member of and contributor to and for the American airport community as a whole.
