ATM Transformation Conference 2026

Managing change in air traffic management (ATM) has never been higher on the agenda of aviation leaders. As the industry faces growing operational, environmental and economic challenges, stakeholders must accelerate transformation efforts and make strategic decisions that will shape the future of aviation.

Many of these decisions involve significant investments, making it essential to allocate resources where they will deliver the greatest value. Every day, decision-makers face complex trade-offs as they seek to optimise system performance, improve efficiency and support long-term business objectives. Throughout the modernisation journey, having reliable estimates of the performance benefits that ATM innovations can deliver is critical to making informed choices.

The second edition of the ATM Transformation Conference, taking place on 5 November 2026 at our Brussels headquarters, will explore the theme: Anticipating the future and driving ATM transformation through data-driven decisions.

Bringing together senior executives, industry leaders and decision-makers from across the aviation ecosystem, the conference will examine how organisations anticipate future challenges and opportunities, prioritise investments, steer modernisation programmes and manage change effectively.

In an era defined by artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and digital transformation, the event will also foster cross-sector dialogue with experts from other data-intensive industries such as energy, banking and space, to share lessons learned and best practices in performance management and strategic decision-making.

The ATM Transformation Conference will provide a unique platform for ATM and non-ATM stakeholders to exchange experiences, showcase innovative approaches to performance-based decision-making, and identify opportunities to further enhance ATM performance across the industry.
