The AMAC Airport Business Conference connects over 1,500 airports, businesses, decision-makers, thought leaders and government officials to explore cutting-edge trends, strategic opportunities and policy initiatives shaping the aviation industry. It also highlights the impact of minority and women-owned businesses on driving economic growth and innovation. The conference is a hub for advocacy, education and networking, providing participants with vast opportunities to refine their expertise while building valuable connections and expanding their national presence.

The theme, Honoring Our Past, Forging Our Future, captures the conference’s 40-year legacy of breaking barriers for minority aviation professionals and its vision for the next generation with the deep historical resonance of Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, located in a city known for its cultural significance and powerful reinvention. This powerful conjunction of legacy and innovation invites conference participants to see themselves as beneficiaries of past progress and architects of future advancement in aviation, particularly fitting as the industry undergoes significant transformation.
