On 24 and 25 September 2025, the ninth edition of the Airport Leadership Forum will take place in Dubai.
Organised by the Cities Today Institute, this closed-door invitation-only Forum will gather a maximum of 20 airport leaders from the EMEA region in a private setting to exchange best practices through roundtable discussions, case-study presentations and breakout sessions. Select industry partners are invited to join the dialogue.
Programme
The programme for the roundtable meeting is based on interviews and research with the airport participants. Each session will begin with a short airport case study highlighting the latest projects and best practices in the following areas:
- Smart Automation & Robotics
- Leveraging Connectivity & 5G for PX & Operations
- Innovation & Change Management
- AI Adoption & Data Governance
- Cybersecurity
- Future of Seamless Operations
- Unlocking Commercial Value through Digital & Innovation
The peer-to-peer organisation of the content and the composition of the group allow for active, challenging discussions that help airport leaders arrive with a series of issues and depart with solutions based on other airport or partner experiences.
