Aptaero Connect 2026
Chicago, voted for by you after Nashville's conference survey and home to Aptaero, sets the stage for Aptaero Connect 2026.
Same conference, new name.
What began as our user conference has grown alongside the community. Aptaero Connect keeps what mattered most: peer learning, candid feedback, and time with the team building Aptaero. It also makes room for the conversations customers told us they wanted more of, including industry trends, the road ahead, and time with the people and systems that touch your day to day work.
What to Expect:
- Industry Insights: Hear from leaders working on the trends and challenges shaping aviation operations.
- Roadmap Preview: A first look at what's shipping next and what's further out for the Aptaero platform.
- Common Challenges: Working sessions focused on the real-world problems our clients run into most often, and the practical fixes that have helped.
- Breakout Tracks: Smaller sessions organized by role and area of focus so you can spend time where it matters most for your team.
- Working Groups: Hands-on conversations that feed directly into product direction.
- Personalized Meetings: Schedule one-on-one time with the Aptaero team by contacting social@aptaero.com.
**We are also working to bring TSA and CBP representatives onsite, subject to travel approvals.**

See you in Chicago:
Aptaero Connect is intentionally small so the conversations stay useful. If you're using Aptaero day to day, or working alongside teams that are, there's a seat at the table for you. We'll see you August 26 to 28.
