Being held for the first time in a brand new venue, EATS 2023 will be held on 8-9 November, 2023, at the Estoril Congress Centre in beautiful Cascais, Portugal, where we will be celebrating the 21st edition of the event. 

The event typically attracts 900 attendees from over 50 countries – all focused on best training practices. With over 48 hours of intense networking and information exchange with key representatives from the region’s airline training community, EATS 2023 is Europe’s largest aviation training event, designed by and for aviation professionals.

The Location:

The Estoril Congress Center boasts a privileged location on the Estoril coast, 25 km away from Lisbon airport, and right next to the famous Casino with its surrounding gardens and sea view.

Accommodation and mobility offering:

The ECC has a wide range of options to choose from in Estoril centre: 5, 4 and 3-star hotels, as well as excellent public transport facilities.

Our unique architecture:

Opened in 2001, designed by the architecture firm Regino Cruz Arquitectos, the ECC offers a rare architectural symbiosis of high outside-facing glass walls, wood and concrete structures, bathed in natural light, having won the “Excellence in Innovation and Quality Architecture Prize” and the “Best Tourism Development” award.

The only Green Venue in Portugal:

The ECC is the only venue in Portugal certified as a Green Venue (EarthCheck’s Gold Certification) for its good environmental practice and commitment to sustainable business.

Organising Green Events is exclusive to the ECC in Portugal. The model was developed from scratch based on the best international practice and standards (APEX/ASTM) which, together with a wellness policy associated with our services, social and environmental responsibility, allowed for the creation of an ambitious model that goes way beyond the mere management of using a meeting venue.
