As a major organizer of events and exhibitions, Aviation Week, a division of Informa, has the opportunity and responsibility to lead the sustainable development of our industry. Our attendees, exhibitors and colleagues are all clearly telling us that sustainability, socially, economically and environmentally, is something that is no longer a “nice to have” but a necessary part of our success.
We also have the potential to go further than our responsibility to deliver our events sustainably: we can design our events to provide a place to work in partnership with our customers and inspire the sustainable development of the industries we serve. For more information on Aviation Week and Informa’s overall commitment to sustainable events click here.
Throughout our conference programs, sustainability is a hot topic of discussion, either through dedicated sessions, or as a talking point within a separate topic. At MRO Middle East 2023 we have the following sessions at the Go Live! Theater around sustainability:
MRO Focus: Sustainability - Motivate and Make it Relevant
Thursday, March 02, 2023:11:15 AM - 11:45 AM
Session Description: Understanding how sustainability initiatives can fit in with the Middle East region and culture:
AIME: Interview - Soaring the Skies with Sustainable Interiors
Thursday, March 02, 2023:11:45 AM - 12:20 PM
Session Description: To be a truly sustainable aircraft, manufacturers need to assess the materials used and how to improve the lifecycle. This session will assess the weight, reusability, and cost of sustainable materials.
Follow these tips to make sure your sustainable booth strategies are cost-neutral or even cost-saving! Leave an impact on the show floor, not the environment.
