ACI-NA Monitoring Coronavirus Impact

We recognize that current news reports of coronavirus infections across the U.S and Canada are of concern to our registrants.

Based on the best information available at this time, we are continuing to plan for terrific conference and learning experiences for everyone who attends our events. While we are not in a position to recommend a specific course of action for travel, we recommend monitoring the government’s travel advisories and restrictions to understand any changes that may arise as a result.

We are sensitive to attendees’ concerns and will be doing everything we can to help those who attend our conference be safe, healthy, and comfortable. ACI-NA will continue to integrate recommendations from the U.S. CDC and Canadian Public Health Agency into our conference procedures and implement additional measures as necessary.

Join us for the 2020 ACI-NA Annual Conference & Exhibition September 12 – September 15, 2020, in Grand Rapids, and learn first-hand from aviation industry experts while cultivating new and existing relationships with more than 2,000 delegates from over 200 airports and airport authorities. Take advantage of our non-conflicting exhibition hours to discover new products and get immediate answers and solutions to issues facing your organization.

All conference events will be held at the DeVos Place Convention Center unless otherwise noted.
