Cities Today Institute

Two days. Two workstreams. Nearly 100 attendees - including airport CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, COOs, and a handpicked group of industry partners. Together, we generated dozens of actionable ideas and initiatives to shape our roadmap and continue collaborating with the #aviation industry to define what a fully #AI-powered #airport looks like - and, more importantly, how we’ll get there. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the #AirportsAISummit for your active engagement and insightful contributions. Now, the real work begins. Stay tuned - there’s much more to come. And let’s not forget: as we say at Honeywell, The Future Is What We Make It. Congratulations to Paul Puopolo for spearheading the Airports AI Alliance and Bob Bennett, Willem Fast, Oliver Hendry, and the extended Cities Today Institute team for a fantastically organized event. #artificialintelligence #AI #airportech #airportofthefuture #innovation
