Building a Movement: Key insights from Assaia's inaugural User Conference
From September 17-19, 2024, Assaia, in collaboration with the Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA), hosted its first User Conference, bringing together aviation professionals from around the globe.
The event highlighted how Assaia’s ApronAI suite is enabling safer, more sustainable, and efficient airport operations. However, it was the user community itself that emerged as the most powerful asset—leaders and system users driving real improvements.
Key insights covered data-driven decision-making, building trust among stakeholders, and the evolving role of AI in aviation.
Learn more about the top 10 takeaways that are shaping the future of airport operations.
