ATC Global Unveils 2013 Conference Agenda

ATC Global revealed today an agenda for its 2013 three day
conference, taking place on 12-14 March in Amsterdam, that will spark
honest debate about the current progress with global ATM
interoperability. A panel assembled to represent stakeholders from
every global region will answer the difficult questions, discuss the
current strategies in place and steer debate towards a more robust
framework for accountability that will instil confidence in those
funding this leap forward in technology and service.

Paula Milburn, ATC Global Director, said: "ATC Global 2013 will
be a unique opportunity for the full breadth of the ATM community to
discuss the true implications of ICAO's November 2012 Air Navigation
Conference within a well-established, independent and inclusive
forum. This agenda has been designed in close consultation with
industry experts to reflect the growing concerns of regulators,
ANSP's, suppliers, airports and aircraft operators".

The first day will address the progress being made with the ANC
2012 Block Upgrades. Special focus will be given to Latin America and
other growth regions to highlight the effects that NextGen, the
implementation of the Single European Sky and ASBUs will have on
regional operations and global harmonisation.

The second day will evaluate the reality of progress made by
ANSPs so far. Through an interactive visual 'Scorecard' the panel
will review and measure their effectiveness in delivering real world
progress, as well as discuss the subject of accountability. This
conference will shine a cold light on how the governance and
structure of individual ANSPs might be affecting the way they
implement regulatory requirements.

The final day will bring the discussion back to the timetable of
implementation and give conference participants the opportunity to
evaluate the uptake of new technology; examining the differing
requirements between all global regions and the varying obstacles to
implementation. This is an opportunity to set out a realistic
timetable for the delivery of credible benefits to the air transport
system.

Due to enthusiastic feedback from attendees of the 2012 event,
the ATC Global 2013 conference has developed from two days into three
days. This directly addresses the wishes of our ATM stakeholders to
have greater participation in panel sessions, to be able to see a
larger variety of presenters and to have the time to draw effective
conclusions.

The conference agenda can now be viewed in full on the website at

speakers will follow shortly.
