About the Airport Cities World Conference & Exhibition (ACE)

The Airport Cities World Conference & Exhibition (ACE) is a top global event for airport CEOs, airlines, economic development organizations, real estate developers, architects, planners, as well as all the business partners benefiting from the potential at airports. ACE attracts about 500 high-level delegates and 50 exhibitors each year. It provides the best opportunity for airport CEOs to showcase their airport development plans to these key decision makers around the world. Any airport choosing to attend the event will demonstrate its strong commitment to sustainable development and will represent a milestone in its development process. At the same time, it will also demonstrate the vital role of airport cities/airport metropolises in future prosperity and success to airport workers, shareholders and the regions where they are located.

In March of 2008, Airport City Development Co., Ltd. (ACL) reached an agreement with the International Aviation Conference Committee to hold the 10th annual ACE. The event, to be held in 2010, is expected to be the largest ever Airport Cities World Conference & Exhibition. As the main organizer of the event, ACL will work closely with Insight Media to introduce to aviation industry experts and scholars worldwide the charm and broad prospects that Beijing offers to the world of aeronautics. At the same time, guests will get a taste of the enormous potential of Beijing’s Capital International Airport.
