Canadian Delegates

“SWIFT is a very rewarding experience.  Year after year, it is the best airport conference to get current information on improvements and new innovations in the industry.”
Sylvain Coron, Ground and Field Manager Aéroports de Montréal


"Two very enthusiastic thumbs up.  I enjoyed the conference; a lot of worthwhile information as well as new technology.  I really enjoyed myself and learned a lot of new ideas to take back and implement.  Well-organized and good speakers.  This was my first SWIFT conference and I completely enjoyed both the subjects covered and the opportunity to network."

Mark Ritchie, Superintendent of Community Airports - Government of Yukon.


International Delegate


"CPH chooses to attend the SWIFT Conference because it's very important that European airports come together and meet with other Airport and Corporations around the world, especially Airports from Canada and USA, to get the big picture regarding possibility and experience.  SWIFT is especially important as we have the opportunity to hear various subjects and to ask questions.  Interesting topics and sessions at SWIFT (and there were many more) included:

  • Air traffic control update
  • MDW runway overrun report
  • Weather impact on aviation safety and efficiency
  • Incursions
  • Snow removal best practicies
  • Effect of de-icing chemicals on airfield pavements

We enjoyed the vendor day and trade show.  There were very good discussions and a lot of new and good ideas were created that will benefit us back home at CPH.  It was a very impressive experience to meet a real Astronaut and to hear him telling about his experience in space. We will never forget that.  Last I would like to commend the group that was in charge of the SWIFT Conference, good work, good subject and many good possibilities to meet up with other people and Airports.  Med venlig hilsen” 
Dan Meincke, Head of Airfield Service and Maintenance - Copenhagen Airport A/S

 

Exhibitors

“Our Team Eagle companies participate as a vendor in 45-50 conferences each year and SWIFT is, by far, our best investment.  SWIFT is the only conference in the world where the vendors are given an opportunity to introduce their company to all delegates.  In addition, SWIFT dedicates an entire day to the tradeshow in the middle of the conference, instead of slotting us in here and there during distracting lunch and coffee breaks.  SWIFT is simply the best conference for face to face time with our clients and the opportunities that follow.”
Steve McKeown,  President & CEO - Eagle Airfield Ltd.


"There is no doubt that the SWIFT conference has been the most successful conference for Trackless Vehicles Ltd.  At the last six conferences I have personally attended, we have secured at least one sale.  At a conference, one hopes for leads that will prove to be genuine and eventually turn into sales.  But to have had six consecutive successful years is a sign of a conference well organized and well attended."

Renald (Ray) Boutin, Canadian Sales Manager - Trackless Vehicles Ltd.

 

Committee Member

“The SWIFT organizing committee is passionate and dedicated about providing the best conference and trade show exposition dedicated to airfield operations.  There is a vast amount of collective knowledge and experience in Canada and from around the world.  SWIFT is the venue where that knowledge can be shared, discussed and passed on.  We host the best airfield equipment vendor show available, along with great speakers and a program that is sure to leave participants better able to perform their respective roles at each of the airports represented.”
Doug Francoeur, Director Airside and Mobile Services - YYC Calgary Airport Authority
