Airline Roundtable Sessions – Welcome to the main event! Our Airline Roundtable Sessions continue to be one of the most celebrated and in demand venues ACPC has to offer. Roundtable sessions will be held on Monday, August 26th and Tuesday, August 27th in the Grand Ballroom. This venue allows for exclusive 10-minute face-to-face meetings with Airline Representatives, and each registered supplier company is guaranteed a total of five Roundtable meetings. Additional Airline appointments may become available on Sunday after the initial selection process has been completed. Supplier’s priority grouping for Roundtable selection is based on the timestamp of your company commitment, so make sure you are online and ready at 9:00 AM ET the morning of May 6th to register and to ensure you land your key meetings! You can visit our website to learn about the Roundtable Sessions. Click Airline Roundtable Policies to read more.  

Aviation Networking Forum (ANF) – Looking to showcase your company to Airlines & Supplier customers during the conference? The Aviation Networking Forum (ANF) is the perfect venue to represent your company and network with key customers. Known as the “trade show” segment of ACPC, the ANF provides additional opportunities to network with airlines during the event’s exclusive “Airline-only” segment from 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM. After this session, the Trinity Ballroom will open to all registered attendees from 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM. ANF booth availability is based on a first-come first-served basis and will undoubtedly sell out fast – usually within the first hour! Take advantage of this popular venue by purchasing a booth during your Company Commitment May 6th at 9:00 AM ET. You can visit our website to learn about the Aviation Networking Forum. Click ANF Policies for further information.   

Sponsorships – Make a strong connection with attendees and establish your company as a focal point of ACPC with a corporate sponsorship. $600 corporate sponsorships can be purchased during the company commitment process and are an excellent way to showcase your company logo throughout the ACPC’s four-day event. Illuminate your company for lasting impressions! Your corporate logo will be a focal point of the conference displayed in a prominent location in Hilton Anatole and on the Mag Screens inside the Chantilly Ballroom during the Monday night banquet and both luncheons.
