GAD Americas Miami

The GAD Americas (Global Airport Development) trade fair and conference, organized by the renowned Informa Group Limited, is an annual event that brings together leading experts from the global airport industry.

GAD Americas stands out for its targeted focus on the key issues facing the industry. A major emphasis is placed on airport investments, with particular attention to managing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) metrics. The conference also delves into upcoming privatization opportunities and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects. Attendees gain valuable insights into the best investment strategies to maximize returns on airport projects.

Another key focus is on significant industry trends, including geopolitical developments, the global economic environment, passenger traffic patterns, and airline consolidation. These analyses help attendees better understand the effects of these trends on airports and their business models.

Financing models for airport development, including the funding of capacity expansions and decarbonization projects, are also central topics of discussion. Hybrid procurement models and current financial market developments, such as Green Finance, will be explored as well.

Special attention is given to strategies for the airports of the future. The conference covers topics such as improving customer satisfaction, utilizing innovative technologies, and advancing digital transformation. Additionally, new revenue streams not directly related to airport operations, as well as strategic opportunities in urban air mobility and real estate development, are key areas of focus.

The GAD Americas take place annually, and therefore presumably in May 2025 in Miami.
