As a major organizer of events and exhibitions, Aviation Week, a division of Informa, has the opportunity and responsibility to lead the sustainable development of our industry. Our attendees, exhibitors and colleagues are all clearly telling us that sustainability, socially, economically and environmentally, is something that is no longer a “nice to have” but a necessary part of our success.
We also have the potential to go further than our responsibility to deliver our events sustainably: we can design our events to provide a place to work in partnership with our customers and inspire the sustainable development of the industries we serve. For more information on Aviation Week and Informa’s overall commitment to sustainable events click here.
The event app provider, Brella, is partnered with the One Tree Planted. The partnership is designed to involve Brella’s users in global reforestation one meeting at a time: for every 10 meetings scheduled through the networking tool, Brella will plant 1 mangrove in Southeast Asia.

GAD World 2023 resulted in 400 meetings, which means 40 trees will be planted - thank you to all our amazing networkers!
Aviation Week Network is happy to discuss any questions or concerns regarding sustainability at our events. For further information please contact:
