The Annual Event For The Air Traffic Community Will Be Held In China For The First Time
UBM, the organizers of ATC Global, have announced that the ATC Global Conference and Exhibition will be held in the capital of China for the very first time in 2014. Taking place from September 17-19 next year at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing, ATC Global will once again unite the international Air Traffic Management (ATM) community for three days of business and networking, and will also facilitate high-level discussions around common industry issues.
Hosting ATC Global in China for the very first time reflects the growing importance that the region plays within the aviation industry as a key transport hub, both regionally and internationally, while also recognizing its strategic location between Europe and the Americas.
"We have been monitoring the global market with an eye on Asia for several years and have spent the last two years conducting in-depth research whilst also establishing relationships that will underpin the next chapter in the development of ATC Global," said Paula Milburn, Development Director - Aviation for UBM. "Over the last 23 years the event has achieved strong growth and international reach from its regional roots in Europe. As the show continues to expand, the new location of Beijing will assist in bringing the global ATM community together to seek solutions to the current challenges facing the industry and to conduct business."
UBM is working closely with the government and relevant authorities in China and the event has the support and backing of the ATMB CAAC. An Advisory Board comprising of senior representatives from the ATMB CAAC and the international ATM community will steer the event and help to ensure that it best reflects the needs of the industry.
According to the CAPA Center for Aviation based in Hamburg, Germany, aviation is a key sector in driving China's economic strategy and as such $230 billion has been committed to developing civil aviation as part of the current 5 year plan.
