Why Attend?
Inflight Europe is a must-attend event delivering the latest innovations in cabin interiors and in-flight technology. The two-day exhibition provides the ideal platform for suppliers, providers and buyers to network and establish new relationships in the region.
Co-located with ap&m Europe at Manchester Central (Central Hall), Inflight Europe is proud to add an additional dimension for the first time to ap&m Europe, with a pavilion, workshop and awards dedicated to the IFEC and cabin interiors community.
Past Inflight events held in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, attracted hundreds of unique delegates with several sessions reaching full capacity. We are aiming to replicate this in Europe and will be inviting key senior representatives from major airlines.
Attendance as a delegate to all three shows is free of charge, while Inflight Europe offers a range of exhibition, sponsorship and participation opportunities tailored to your budget and marketing objectives.
ap&m Europe attracts over 2,500 attendees from the global airline supply chain for 3 days of networking and knowledge sharing. You can see a list of attendees here.
Inflight Europe will be inviting high-quality participants from the aircraft interiors and cabin technology spectrum to both attend the event and take part in the engaging workshops taking place over two days.

Schedule
Session 1: Connectivity (IFC)
Are airlines being tactically creative with on-board connectivity and what does a fully connected crew mean?
Session 2: Seating
The automotive industry is having a profound impact on aviation seats. We will discuss what lessons aviation seat manufacturers can take from their automotive counterparts.
Session 3: In-seat power
How are airlines responding to the increasing demand for in-seat power? Does AC power still have a future and what options are available across all cabin classes?
Lunchtime educational: Accessibility
Session 4: In-Flight Entertainment Systems
Embedded and BYOD. How can you design a collaborative experience between seatback screens and personal electronic devices to become more responsive to passenger needs?
Session 5: Content Provision (IFE)
How can airlines build a relevant and differentiated content library? What is the selection process behind choosing a content service provider? Are Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) stalling the passenger relationship with IFE screens?
Session 6: Satellite communications
As the scuffle between Ka and Ku dissipates, have the battle lines been drawn between LEO, MEO and GEO? Will one come out on top and does it matter which one?
Session 7: Lighting
Understanding the total lighting environment in the cabin is key. We will discuss how lighting, both line fit and retrofit can affect the passenger experience and is Li-Fi a potential game changer for the industry.
Lunchtime educational: Sustainability
Session 8: Ancillary revenues
Capturing revenue opportunities through cabin connectivity. Are airlines realising the full potential of in-flight connectivity to offer better and more varied products and
services?
