“The experience was excellent before and during the event; thank you very much for your effort. Keep going!”

“CONNECT enabled us to meet with a good number of our airline partners. We were also able to take the temperature of the industry in terms of how other airports and industry leaders see things.”

“Tangier was a good choice for this year Connect. Event well organised with chance for number of meetings in a nice atmosphere. Everything was not "overwhelming". Good organisation of meetings in Business Lounge.”

“The event’s flexibility in scheduling meetings and timings was greatly appreciated. It provided a fantastic venue for meeting and greeting my airport clients.”

“My first time attending Connect and for sure not the last one! Very good number of airlines attending and overall great networking experience.”

“This was the first time I came to CONNECT in a few years and was impressed to see how much it has developed whilst retaining its small event feel with a quality meeting structure and networking.”

“Perfect organization, both for meetings and for leisure time. CONNECT does compare better than other events in the aviation industry, with longer meeting slots, less stressed timing, which helps people talking and doing business.”

“Great organization, perfect conditions, delicious food, very friendly and cosy atmosphere and professional communication. Meetings at CONNECT are always very productive! We hope next year will be at least as excellent as it was in 2022!”

“I had 2 contracts confirmed after the first day and am now in serious talks with potential customers regarding other contracts. A successful event for me!”

“We performed 60 meetings in three days with the airports we were looking for, it would have took us months to achieve that without CONNECT. We got an excellent return on investment and we ended up having concrete request for commercial proposals. Real value for money!”

“Perfect hospitality. The number of confirmed meetings exceeded our expectations.”

“I had more meetings than expected. Very professional and highly effective in a cordial and relaxed environment. A great event!”

“The event was as always perfectly organized. CONNECT has managed to grow significantly over the last years without losing its friendliness and professionalism.”

“There is great attention to detail and the CONNECT team are like an army of ants with their eyes on everything!”

“As always, it was a great pleasure seeing you in Tampere after very long time. We enjoyed both Tampere and Finland, so thanks for bringing us to places we probably would not visit by ourselves. Thanks for an amazing event (as usual) and hospitality, we look forward to seeing you next year in Morocco!”

“Our onsite meetings were trebled with help from the CONNECT team, and we are more than satisfied with these discussions, that are the beginning of long conversations opened up for the future.”

“Professional and well-organized event. Fantastic atmosphere during official part and social part also.”

“CONNECT New World provided an incredible platform for passionate individuals like myself who desire to connect different corners of our planet. The event brought together like-minded professionals in the industry.”

“Excellent event looking forward to 2024.”

“CONNECT is a great format to network with industry professionals and decision-makers. Through our connections at the event, Flyadeal launched 3 routes to Tbilisi International Airport, with 9 frequencies per week.”

“The event proved to be a valuable opportunity for us to consolidate meetings with our existing airline partners and connect with a few key service providers we collaborate with. Additionally, engaging in conversations with various airports brought about interesting insights. While my primary expectation was centered around networking, I found the event to be a valuable platform for fostering meaningful professional relationships.”

“One of the best airline industry events, combining efficiency and organization with French style and flair!”

“Good meetings and good networking with relevant people for our business. Hopefully, we can come again to CONNECT.”
