ALF New York header
On 1-2 October, the ninth edition of the Airport Leadership Forum will take place in New York. 
 
Organised by the Cities Today Institute, this closed-door invitation-only Forum will bring together a maximum of 20 North American airport leaders 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.
 
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.

Travel and accommodation
Dinner, hotel and transfer costs within the host city for airport officials are covered by the Cities Today Institute.
 
Cities Today Institute
Established in 2019, the Cities Today Institute provides city officials with training and capacity building; leadership meetings; peer-to-peer support through an online community; a knowledge library; and bespoke research.

"The Airport Leadership Forum was one of the most productive conferences I have attended, due to its small size, focused format and design of the setting to facilitate group discussions. Well done."
"It was a great opportunity to learn about new and interesting initiatives and network with other professionals with whom I hope to collaborate to improve our airport and the aviation industry."
