The Global AIM Consortium is pleased to announce that the 2010 Global AIM Congress entitled “Building the Future – The transition from AIS through AIM to IM” will be held in Beijing on the 22-24th June 2010. As usual, workshops will be held on the Monday ahead of the Congress, 21 June 2010. The Consortium is working closely with the Air Traffic Management Bureau of the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China which has generously agreed to sponsor this event.
There are a number of key objectives for the Congress. It will review the progress made in implementing the recommendations of the Madrid Congress of 2006 and then it will begin to explore the future direction of the provision of aeronautical and other information essential for the implementation of the ICAO Air Traffic Management Concept. The aim is to identify the key requirements for the future system which will draw heavily on the work of the European SESAR and US NextGen programmes. Senior managers from ICAO, ATMB, Europe and the FAA have already agreed to speak.
As in previous years, the style of the Congress will be to inform, explore and debate the need, scope and orientation for change and -in common with Madrid- to make recommendations to aid the facilitation of the future information management system for ATM. The target audience is comprised of senior and middle managers in ATM, AI-AIM, commercial service providers and industry including airframe and avionic manufacturers and systems and service providers.
In addition to the two workshops on Monday 21 June (one Industry Stream, and one Non-Industry Stream), the Congress will be supported by an exhibition of products and services available to support the AIS-AIM transition.
