Six Themes, From Capital to Delivery
As airports face unprecedented capital demands — driven by passenger growth, aging assets, technology, expansion needs, and resilience requirements — authorities and their industry partners are rethinking how projects get financed, structured, and delivered.
The inaugural Airport Development & Investment Conference, held October 8–9, 2026, brought together airport authorities and operators alongside airlines, investors, developers, lenders, concession partners, and advisory firms. Across 28 sessions, the program examined how capital is being deployed, how risk is being structured, and how projects are advancing from planning through execution.
ADIC returns April 19–20, 2027 at the JW Marriott L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles. The 2027 program is taking shape, and sessions are being announced in the coming months.
Six themes: Rebuilding the Airport Development Model, Deploying Capital into Airport Infrastructure, Regulation as a Driver of Development, Airlines as Infrastructure Partners, Airports as Real Estate Platforms, and Future Infrastructure and Aviation.
