SWIFT Conference Testimonials

Canadian Delegates

“SWIFT is a very rewarding experience.  Year after year, it is the best airport conference to get current information on improvements and new innovations in the industry.”

Sylvain Coron
Ground and Field Manager
Aeroports de Montreal

"Two very enthusiastic thumbs up. I enjoyed the conference; a lot of worthwhile information as well as new technology. I really enjoyed myself and learned a lot of new ideas to take back and implement. Well organized, good speakers. This was my first SWIFT Conference and I completely enjoyed both the subjects covered and the opportunity to network."

International Delegate

“CPH chooses to attend the SWIFT Conference because it's very important that European airports come together and meet with other Airport and Corporations around the world, especially Airports from Canada and USA, to get the big picture regarding possibility and experience.  SWIFT is especially important as we have the opportunity to hear various subjects and to ask questions.  Interesting topics and sessions at SWIFT (and there were many more) included:

-            Air traffic control update
-            MDW runway overrun report
-            Weather impact on aviation safety and efficiency
-            Incursions
-            Snow removal best practices
-            Effect of aircraft de-icing chemicals on airfield

We enjoyed the vendor day and trade show.  There were very good discussions and a lot of new and good ideas were created that will benefit us back home at CPH.  It was a very impressive experience to meet a real Astronaut and to hear him telling about his experience in space. We will never forget that.  Last I would like to commend the group that was in charge of the SWIFT Conference, good work, good subject and many good possibilities to meet up with other people and Airports.  Med venlig hilsen”.

Vendors

“Our Team Eagle companies participate as a vendor in 45-50 conferences each year and SWIFT is, by far, our best investment.  SWIFT is the only conference in the world where every vendor is provided the opportunity to introduce their company to every delegate.  In addition, SWIFT dedicates an entire day to the tradeshow in the middle of the conference, instead of slotting us in here and there during distracting lunch and coffee breaks.  SWIFT is simply the best conference for face to face time with our clients and the opportunities that follow.”

Steve McKeown
President & CEO
Eagle Airfield Ltd

“There is no doubt that the Swift Conference has been the most successful  conference for Trackless Vehicles Ltd.  At the last six conferences I have personally attended, we have secured at least one sale. At a conference, one hopes for leads that will prove to be genuine and eventually turn into sales. But to have had six consecutive successful years is a sign of a conference well organized and well attended."

Renald (Ray) Boutin
Canadian Sales Manager
Trackless Vehicles Ltd.

Committee Member

“The SWIFT organizing committee is passionate and dedicated about providing the best conference and trade show exposition dedicated to airfield operations.  There is a vast amount of collective knowledge and experience in Canada and from around the world.  SWIFT is the venue where that knowledge can be shared, discussed and passed on.  The SWIFT Conference and Equipment Expo is next scheduled for September 7 – 11, 2008 in Calgary, Canada.  We will be presenting the best airfield equipment exposition available, along with great speakers and a program that is sure to leave participants better able to perform their respective roles at each of the airports represented.”
