Program

As drone incursions at airports escalate in frequency and sophistication, the stakes for airport security teams have never been higher. The Airport Counter Drone Exchange brings together airport operators, security directors, technology providers, regulators, and threat analysts for three days of intensive, practical learning hosted at one of America's busiest airports.

Delegates will move beyond theory — exploring the real economic, operational, and security impact of drone threats, evaluating the technologies that actually work in an airport environment, and stress-testing their incident response through hands-on exercises.

The programme covers the full counter-drone lifecycle: detection and identification, mitigation and legal authority, procurement and vendor selection, cybersecurity risks, emerging threat horizons, and the regulatory landscape across the US and Europe.

Day 3 takes delegates airside for a practical airport visit and live demonstration — a rare behind-the-scenes opportunity few events can offer.

Whether you're building a C-UAS programme from scratch or refining an existing one, this exchange is designed to send you home with strategies, contacts, and commitments you can act on immediately.

Spaces are limited.
