How can we plan and shape the regions around airports? How can we lead the relationship between the investor, the local community and business? The 'Hub airports and their regions. Synergy as a key to success’ conference, organised by Centralny Port Komunikacyjny in cooperation with the Airport Regions Council, will answer these and other key questions.
The conference, to be held on November 23 and 24, 2023, will host a total of six sessions – panel discussions and paper sessions – covering such thematic areas as economic development, cooperation between local authorities and investors, and spatial development of airport regions. There will also be an opportunity to hear a presentation on the CPK Surrounding Area Development Strategy, as well as to take part in discussions on social issues.
The conference will have an international dimension – in addition to national specialists, the event will be attended by international experts in the field of the aviation sector, local development and local government affairs. Panellists include representatives of the Airport Regions Council, Aéroports de Paris, Prague Airport Region, Airport City Academy and the municipalities of Viladecans (Barcelona) and Vantaa (Helsinki). A full list of speakers is available on the conference website. The event is held under the patronage of the Institute for Urban and Regional Development and the V4+ Airports Association.
