Why attend as a delegate?The Airline & Aerospace MRO & Operations IT Conference – EMEA returns to Frankfurt for 2010 bigger and better than before, with a who’s who line up of aviation MRO IT vendors exhibiting their software (over 35!), and more workshops and airline/MRO IT case studies.
It is the only event in the world which addresses the strategic issues surrounding the development of technology behind improvements in maintenance costs of aircraft. The topics discussed and the software available to demo in the exhibition hall offer a one-stop solution for airlines and MROs seeking to implement or discover more about how new technology can streamline and increase their MRO efficiency as well as reduce costs dramatically.
This event has become a must attend event for MROs seeking to:• Install new MRO IT Systems (Fully integrated systems, ERP Platform MRO system, Digital Documentation
Management systems, Cost Management solutions, Supply Chain solutions)• Network with and learn from fellow airlines and MROs about common problems and how to overcome them. • Learn about the latest upgrades available from the world’s major vendors and how best to incorporate them into
your current system.

systems from the world’s leading vendors. Over 20 vendors will be exhibiting their software at Miami. See over page for a full list of vendors booked to date and the conference floor plan.
