2022 ACPC SPRING NEWSLETTER

Stabilize the Skies! I believe the conference theme of the 2022 Air Carriers Purchasing Conference is apropos of the mindset shared by most of my industry colleagues. Despite all that is happening in the world, we remain united in the shared goal of stabilizing our industry by keeping planes in the air, ensuring that people and packages are moved efficiently and effectively on a global scale. 

Perhaps now more than ever it’s vital that we focus on building and maintaining a network of like-minded aviation peers. This is what makes the ACPC the most productive aviation conference in the world. The ACPC offers unlimited networking opportunities for both supplier and airline attendees. Keep reading to learn about some of these opportunities.

I encourage you to mark your calendars for Company Commitment on Monday May 16th, and individual attendee registration the following Monday, May 23rd. Also, please visit the ACPC website for registration information and up-to-date news about the conference.

The main event we all know and love! This venue provides an opportunity for registered suppliers to meet face to face with the airlines of their choice. Extra appointments may be available on Sunday after the initial selections have been made by all priority groups. How do you get prime meetings? Secure your Company Commitment early for the conference! Company Commitment begins on Monday, May 16th and is a prerequisite for any individual to register to attend from your company. Visit our website to learn more about the Airline Roundtables.

Held on Sunday from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, this is a great place to represent your company and have an opportunity to talk to both airlines and suppliers. The first 2 ½ hours are exclusively for "airlines only" and allows exhibitors additional face-to-face time with potential airline customers. Be sure to register early so that you can get one of these coveted booths because spaces are limited and they sell out within a few hours of registration opening. ANF Booth reservations are made during the Company Commitment process which begins at 9:00 AM ET on May 16th. If you are interested in participating in the ANF, I recommend reading the ANF Guidelines located on our website before signing up.

Corporate Sponsorships
Want to maximize your company’s exposure? A $600 corporate sponsorship ensures that your company logo is displayed prominently in the hotel for the duration of the conference. Logos will appear multiple times per hour in rotating, timed intervals throughout the conference. During the Company Commitment process you will be prompted to add a sponsorship. Just say, "Yes!" Sponsorships also sell out quickly, so once again, register early (do you sense a trend here?). Be ready to go at 9:00 AM ET on May 16th. To learn more, go to our website and get ACPC educated!

With continued success, fun and lots of laughs, I am back as MC for Live Crowd Trivia. What crazy outfit will I be wearing this year? Show off your industry knowledge to win great prizes. Check the ACPC agenda on the website for times.

Meet & Greet
Located inside the Hospitality Suite, both Suppliers and Airlines are encouraged to take advantage of Meet & Greet. These 30 minute sessions add tremendous ROI and enable you to talk business with vendors, customers and friends in a relaxed social setting. Reserve your 30 minute table times in the Hospitality Suite, beginning Saturday at the conference, allowing for pre-planned or spontaneous meeting opportunities.
