Testimonials from the 2009 Airline & Aerospace MRO & Operations IT Conferences An exceptionally good event. For those of us who has selected and implemented it has been very good to network, exchange ideas on what is happening in the industry. For MROs who have not selected their ERP, the conference captures all the guidance points for implementing an ERP. They will be doing themselves an injustice if they do not attend. Cathay Pacific Airways I must congratulate you on a very well organised event. The presentations and demonstrations, as always, were informative and of a high standard and quality. The event allowed us the opportunity to network with other airlines that are also in the market for new software solutions South African Airways Perfect platform for our IT needs this year! XL Airways Germany Very interesting event, focusing on just the topics we are planning for right now Finnair We made some very interesting contacts with different vendors Eurowings Very good for networking; very informative; very good to get in contact with potential vendors Air Berlin Was one of the better conferences we attended this year.
