Vendor Program

In addition to being a major forum for sharing new concepts and ideas in airline operations, the conference provides an opportunity for vendors to meet directly with airline delegates, provide in depth demonstrations, and discuss future opportunities, and partnerships. We have scheduled dedicated time slots for vendor presentations, and exhibitions.  

Each vendor delegate is required to register for the conference at a nominal registration fee. As a vendor delegate, you are entitled to a 10 minute slot in the vendor program to do a company overview and/or dedicated presentation. In addition, you will have access to a table top display in the vendor exhibition area.

Hotel Shipments

Vendors and sponsors, please note that you can ship your merchandizing and exhibit materials to the hotel before the conference, but note that FedEx, DHL, and UPS parcels will usually take 6-10 business days to be shipped from the U.S. to Mexico, due to delays in processing by Customs, so anything shipped after May 22 may not arrive in time for the conference.  You may use the following address to ship your materials:
