Andy Smith
Andy has been a simulation and training advocate for over 35 years after an early career in tradeshows and publishing, launching Military Simulation & Training Magazine, with Moench Publishing in 1983. Six years into that program airlines and simulation leaders requested a magazine to support global airline’s as they began their journey toward a high reliability industry; hence CAT Magazine, and since 1998 the successful series of Airline Training events. He launched Halldale as a buyout in 1992 and started Halldale’s USA operations in 2002 launching Medical Training Magazine in 2012. He is married to Chrissy, their two children being his proudest ‘launches’, and is a keen historian, cook, reader and sports consumer!
