If you're not concerned with proposals like cap-and-trade, slot restrictions, stumbling progress on ATC, and dangerous rumblings in Washington to find "sustainable alternatives" to air travel, this Summit is not for you. But if you're intent on getting the insights, data and information necessary to take control of the future, you'd best be in Lexington on October 4-6. This is the only conference that doesn't dance around the issues. Fact: This is the only event that actually provides forecasts of key airline and aviation industry trends. The only event that gives forecasts regarding the fleets that airlines will be ordering and flying in the future, affecting financial institutions, airports and suppliers. The only event that covers the Airports:USA Enplanement forecasts for 146 airports. And it's the only event that provides insight from the key decision-makers at virtually every major airline system, plus from the key aircraft manufacturers. This will be the fourteenth year of the Boyd Group International Aviation Forecast Summit. But this year, things are different. A lot different. With all the changes in the economy, in the airline industry, in the airframe industry, as well as a new Administration, the future is more correctly described as the Uncharted Environment. Face it, there's a fundamental shift in the financial underpinnings of the nation, not to mention the globe. That means aviation - a key industry and a key part of global communication - will be changed forever in structure, size, and role. The Boyd Group International Aviation Forecast Summit is the only event that will candidly and independently address what these changes mean to each sector of the industry - airports, airlines, suppliers and financial institutions. It's A Different Event. No Politicians. Just The Facts. For a compelling review of the trends we'll be covering, and why you need to be at this Summit, click here. It wll give you additional background on the philosophy of the Summit. Interviews & Discussions With Industry Leaders In addition to the aviation industry's most incisive and valuable forecasts, we're also going to have an agenda that will provide insights and perspectives that are available nowhere else. Discussions - not boring canned presentations. The Summit format is mostly around probing and insightful discussions with key leaders in aviation. You get real information - not supposition - not only from The Boyd Group's professional forecasts, but also from key leaders in aviation. We ask hard questions. And hard follow-up questions. And so can attendees.

Real Forecasts The Summit really does give projections and trend analyses that aviation professionals can immediately put to strategic planning use. Independent perspectives that step way beyond government forecasts and the parrot-talk Wall Street passes off as advice. Three key forecasts: US Airport Enplanements 2010 - 2014 Airline Trend & Strategy Forecasts Global Fleet Demand Forecast For a review of these key forecast areas, click here. Optional Workshops Join us on the afternoon of Sunday October 4 for three very incisive workshops, each aimed specifically at airports seeking new perspectives in three key areas: Implementing An Airport Economic Impact Analysis. Aggressively Branding Your Airport. Air Service Dynamics - The New Imperative The workshops are sequential. You can register for one or all of them. For more details and a review of what's being covered at each, click here. A Working Conference. Not A Social Event Our regular annual attendees will tell you that the Boyd Group International Forecast Summit is a working conference - one that provides hard, data-focused forecasts that are free of political or other agendas. The new emerging trends. Traffic demand and the drivers behind it. And it will be a Summit. A Summit of new ideas. A Summit covering the new future of aviation. A Summit that will provide attendees with a clearer view of what can be expected in the months ahead. You have to deal with the real world, and as of today, that represents completely uncharted territory. Remember, the spike in oil prices affect the entire economy - distribution, logistics, consumer spending patterns, levels of discretionary income, capital spending across entire industries. Aviation is going to be buffeted and changed by these swirling dynamics, most of which have not yet fully manifested. This Aviation Forecast Summit is a day and a half that delivers information, insight, and data that will assist in understanding and navigating the new, post-Obama business environment. It is not meant to be "thought-provoking." Other conferences can do that, wasting precious time. This Summit is intended to provoke action - outline the future and give the attendees information and insight they can apply immediately. So clear your calendar for October 4-6 and prepare to get some hard forecast data on what we can expect in the next 18 months. We'd like to express our thanks to our host & sponsors, too Conference Venue: Marriott Griffin Gate, Lexington, Kentucky We are honored to have the Lexington Blue Grass Airport as our host for the 2009 Aviation Forecast Summit. Executive Director Eric Frankl and his staff have gone all out to make sure this will be the best Summit yet. Lexington is in the middle of Kentucky horse country, with rolling green hills, and October is a perfect time of the year. It's easy to get to - with service from virtually major carrier, and frequent flights. The Marriott Griffin Gate is just twelve minutes from Blue Grass Airport, and is a relaxed and perfect property for some hard work during the day, followed by relaxing evenings with fellow attendees.
