APAC ALF Incheon 2026

On 3-4 June 2026, the tenth edition of the Airport Leadership Forum will take place in Incheon, Republic of Korea. 
 
Organised by the Airports AI Alliance, this closed-door invitation-only Forum will bring together a maximum of 20 airport leaders from the APAC 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.
 
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
