ASIA - UBM has announced that the ATC Global Conference and Exhibition will be held in China for the first time in 2014.
The show will be held at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing on 17-19 September, moving from an earlier date in March at Amsterdam RAI.
“We have been monitoring the global market with an eye on Asia for several years and have spent the last two years conducting in-depth research while also establishing relationships that will underpin the next chapter in the development of ATC Global,” said development director, aviation for UBM, Paula Milburn. “Over the last 23 years the event has achieved strong growth and international reach from its regional roots in Europe. As the show continues to expand, the new location of Beijing will assist in bringing the global ATM community together to seek solutions to the current challenges facing the industry and to conduct business.”
According to the Centre for Air Commerce, aviation is a key sector in driving China’s economic strategy, where US$230 billion has been committed to developing civil aviation as part of a five-year plan.
