Expert Groups
Promote exchange, identify trends, get inspired
The dynamic development of the airport world requires us to keep up to date, follow the current discourse and deal with new trends and standards.
To discuss important industry topics and share experiences, GATE has established numerous expert groups in which members can engage and inform themselves.
The expert groups serve to bring together the extensive knowledge of our member companies and support each other with their respective expertise.
The meetings of the expert groups are usually held three times a year. Participation is open to all members at any time. The technical leadership is the responsibility of the member companies, while the GATE team is responsible for the organization.
Of course, we are also interested in the expertise of companies that are not active in the association. Therefore, we regularly invite keynote speakers to the meetings to enrich us with their input.
The schedule:
After an introduction, there are one or two keynote speeches by member companies, experts, airports, institutes, etc., followed by an exchange. After a wrap-up of the meeting, participants will still have the opportunity to network.
We look forward to a lively discussion and the development of exciting visions!
