EUROCONTROL is delighted to invite you to join our ATM Transformation Conference taking place on 6 November 2025, at our Brussels HQ.
The Conference will explore how enterprise architecture can support transformation in air traffic management (ATM).
As the aviation industry embraces rapid innovation and transformation, managing change in ATM has become a top priority for aviation leaders. With the 2025 European ATM Master Plan now endorsed, stakeholders are under increasing pressure to accelerate their modernisation efforts and make critical strategic decisions — many with significant financial implications.
From daily trade-offs to long-term planning, decision-makers must navigate complex challenges to ensure a smooth transition from today’s systems to the architecture of the future.
The ATM Transformation Conference will bring together ATM and non-ATM stakeholders to:
The event will also feature a dedicated exhibition hall, showcasing flagship projects that highlight innovative approaches to ATM transformation and architectural design.
Our objectives are to:
Join us as we move from vision to implementation — and shape the future of European ATM together.
