// MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear members and partners,

We are now a month away from the 9th edition of the International Aerospace Innovation Forum. From May 21 to 22, 2024, we welcome you to the Palais des congrès de Montréal on the theme of “Collaboration, the innovation accelerator”.

For this new edition, we will address three main themes: emerging technologies, innovation and sustainable transformation. Nearly 100 speakers have been confirmed and will share their vision and expertise. Among them, you will find Richard Aboulafia and Kevin Michaels from Aerodynamic Advisory for an overview of the global aerospace sector.

Through our exhibition area, you will have the opportunity to discover the most recent innovations in the sector and above all, to strengthen your business network thanks to our B2B meeting program.

The International Aerospace Innovation Forum is only held every two years. Over the years, it has become an essential event for the Quebec aerospace sector. It allows us to promote Quebec's aerospace industry to a local and international audience, strengthen our relationships on a global scale and highlight Canada's expertise in aerospace innovation.

There are only a few days left to register and now is the time to get involved!

I am counting on your presence to promote our beautiful ecosystem.
