APATS 2023 in Singapore has now wrapped up, our most successful event in Asia to date, with incredible feedback from delegates and exhibitors alike. Globally, our community is united in understanding the importance of building new connections and relationships, meeting in an environment of like-minded people to discuss current and future challenges and learn more about rapidly evolving training methods and implementation. The Halldale regional events do exactly that, a conference, a world-class trade show and networking. 

We’re hosting EATS, the European Airline Training Symposium, in Cascais, Portugal, on Wednesday 8^th November to Thursday 9^th November 2023. The last three years has seen this event grow from an already established conference and trade-show, into the most important event for aviation training professionals in the region, with attendee numbers rocketing each year. The conference program is available on our dedicated website www.eats-event.com, and includes relevant topics such as EBT, Human Factors, CBTA, New Technologies, Inclusion, Evolving concepts and more. Offering presentations, workshops and discussion panels alongside Europe’s largest aviation training trade show, plus lots of networking, it’s a must attend event for our aviation safety training community.
