NEW YORK, March 24, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- AVIATION WEEK's
newest conference, Interiors, will open on April 15-16,
2008, at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, bringing together top cabin
interior decision-makers, engineers, designers,
manufacturers, dealers and suppliers- all those involved
in defining the present and future of aircraft
interiors. Attendees will participate in interactive
discussions about current trends and issues pertaining
to the design, manufacturing and servicing of aircraft
interior equipment in the commercial sector. Interiors
will be co-located with the MRO 2008 Conference &
Exhibition, one of the industry's most important MRO
events.
Sessions at the forum will address topics such as
in-flight entertainment (IFE) options, economy-plus
cabins, and how professionals are using green materials
and technologies to improve fuel efficiency and reduce
energy costs. A collaborative roundtable discussion on
day two will focus on IFE systems, what is really
useable and cost-effective today, and where IFE is
headed. Attendees will leave the forum prepared with
ideas that can be immediately implemented for real
results at their own companies.
"The advances in cabin interior technologies and
customer-centered design have increased exponentially in
recent years," said Tom Henricks, president, AVIATION
WEEK. "To stay competitive, aircraft interior
professionals must be aware of current customer
preferences and the pros and cons of available options.
AVIATION WEEK's Interiors will equip attendees with the
knowledge they need to stay on the cutting edge, while
also providing an opportunity to learn, collaborate and
network with peers."
