HEADLINE SPONSOR

BETTER TOGETHER | WORKING TOGETHER

The 2024 SWIFT Conference & Expo returned to Vancouver in September with the highest ever recorded attendance for a ‘non-equipment’ year. The 2024 ‘Better Together | Working Together’ theme is at the heart of all things SWIFT as the airport community join together to exchange solutions to common challenges and explore new ideas.

SWIFT 2025, hosted by Toronto Pearson Airport, takes place at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel in Niagara Falls. Registration will open in March but for information on sponsoring or exhibiting, we recommend getting in touch now as expo space is likely to sell out again.

CAPTG (Canadian Airport Pavement Technology Group) are maintaining their long-standing relationship with the event with sessions exploring technological developments in the design, construction evaluation and maintenance of pavements.
