31 APPENDIX A Program Agenda
Event Location: Keck Center, 500 5th St. NW, Washington D.C., Room 100 Event Dates: March 22-23, 2022 ACRP INSIGHT EVENT: Future of Aviation The aviation industry is constantly changing. Some trends we can predict and others we can barely imagine. As we emerge from the greatest challenge to commercial aviation in recent memory and head into recovery from the global pandemic, practitioners are seeking to understand how the aviation industry can prepare for the next set of challenges and disruptions. Just as deregulation changed the industry dramatically in the 1970s, recent and emerging technologies are currently transforming the aviation industry today. It is important for industry practitioners to understand, prepare for, and adapt to emerging trends such as Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), on-demand aviation services, smaller aircraft and intraregional flights, electrification of fleets and eventually aircraft, commercial supersonic flight, digitization and automation and sustainable aviation jet fuels (SAJFs) for example. There is no shortage of events that focus on the near-term future of aviation; however, this event provides a venue for thought leaders to discuss and consider the opportunities and trends that will shape aviation and airports in the mid to long term. This in-depth, face-to-face gathering is designed to promote communication and collaboration, foster innovation, and help identify areas of future interest and research. The Future of Aviation Insight Event will bring together experts from across the industry for two days of thought-provoking dialog to consider what the next 20, 30 and 50 years might look like for aviation, centered around four key themes: People, Infrastructure, Technology & Innovation, and Climate. DAY 1 MORNING THEME: PEOPLE Day 1 8:45-9:15 AM Event Introduction and Scene Setting Our Panel Chair and speaker will offer welcoming remarks and set the stage for the event and discussion, provide their insight into what the Future of Aviation could look like in the mid to long term.

Dr. Hirsh pioneered the airport urbanism (AU) method: a customer-focused approach to developing airports and planning the airport area. His research and consultancy services focus on airport real estate, non-passenger revenue, and airport-led urban development. Passionate about aviation, he works with airports, municipalities, developers, and design firms around the world to help shape the future of airports and the cities that they serve. Focusing on technology, sustainability,
innovation, and the future airport business model, his inspirational talks offer a fresh perspective on the key challenges facing airports and cities today 12:15-1:10 PM LUNCH DAY 1 AFTERNOON THEME: AIRPORTS AND AIRSPACE 1:15-2:30PM Airport Infrastructure The first panel of the infrastructure theme will focus on significant drivers shaping airports as they plan, design, and build infrastructure to meet future needs.
