CANSO Executive Summit 2023

As the world of Air Traffic Management gathers in Geneva for the inaugural Airspace World, CANSO will launch this brand new event with its annual Executive Summit.

Top leaders, influencers and experts from the aviation industry will gather at Palexpo, Geneva,
Switzerland for an afternoon of debate, discussion and insight.

This year’s Summit will help ATM leaders from around the world move the agenda forward on some of
our industry’s most pressing issues. As the aviation world changes, the Summit will present a global
picture of what’s going on in our industry and answer why we should change, and how we can integrate all airspace users quickly.

Our Summit will be followed by an opportunity to network at our drinks reception, to which all
attendees are invited.
