inter airport Europe 2021 unlocks new level of business networking for the airport sector

Even better business and networking opportunities – backed by smart AI matchmaking technology and a powerful digital platform – await the thousands of airport professionals attending the 23^rd edition of inter airport Europe, the leading flagship event for the international airport community. The new exhibition format is designed to help attendees unlock the full potential of the industry’s most eagerly awaited networking event of the year, merging on-site opportunities with interactive digital networking.

Visitor registration now open to in-person and remote attendees

For the first time, the new hybrid format allows visitors to attend inter airport Europe both in-person and online. This will be of particular interest to international visitors who can’t travel due to COVID restrictions or other corporate decisions.

Once registered, all visitors enjoy full access to the entire platform and have the option to contact everyone exhibiting at inter airport Europe 2021. This will allow them to research for products and services, and to directly speak with suppliers and peers. An AI-powered matchmaking service offers one-to-one business networking, helping suppliers and buyers make smarter networking decisions by suggesting relevant people to meet.

"We are delighted to be organising inter airport Europe, the first major meeting place for the airport industry this year. As usual, we are providing this business platform in a two-year rotation live in Munich and in addition this year via our new digital meeting platform and matchmaking service. This solution is based on the same next-generation technology that was behind our successful virtual inter airport CONNECT event in the spring," says Olaf Freier, Portfolio Director of inter airport Europe. "With the digital meeting platform, we provide all participants direct access to our international community of experts. This means that, regardless of travel restrictions, you can find your future business partners at inter airport Europe and invite them to a meeting: at a stand, in our meeting lounge or - if a face-to-face meeting is not possible - online."

All attendees, in-person or remote, can now register via the Online Ticket Shop at www.interairporteurope.com, with the added benefit of reduced advanced ticket prices and fast-track admission on-site.
