International Aerospace Innovation Forum 2020
Event description :
In 2018, more than 1,300 participants from over 15 countries and close to 100 speakers gathered at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal for the 6th edition of the International Aerospace Innovation Forum, making this event one of the largest global aerospace industry gatherings in North America.
Building on this success, and taking into consideration the current health context, Aéro Montréal has set out to reinvent the format of the International Aerospace Innovation Forum. From December 14 to 15, 2020, Aéro Montréal will offer you a 7th virtual, bold and safe edition on the theme of "Smart Travelling Rethought".
This redesigned format will feature a large number of conferences and round tables as well as virtual business meetings, adapted to the different needs of participants from around the world.
Every year, the International Aerospace Innovation Forum is an opportunity to strengthen relationships globally and to celebrate a nation's expertise in aerospace innovation: this year, we are proud to announce that Japan will be the country in honor!
The International Aerospace Innovation Forum 2020 is being organized by Aéro Montréal, in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and the Palais des Congrès de Montréal. It will kick off International Aerospace Week - Montréal 2020 - from December 14 to 17, 2020.
