This year GATE FUTURE moves right into the terminal. The Top Deck and the Airport Conference Center sit above the departure hall of Hamburg Airport – the perfect stage for high-level exchange, meaningful networking, and forward-looking conversations, with live operations unfolding below. The choice is no coincidence: as one of Germany's largest civil aviation hubs – home to Lufthansa Technik and a stone's throw from Airbus – the venue itself embodies the industry the conference convenes.
