Building on the success of last year’s Safety Conference, this new edition expands its focus beyond safety to address the evolving challenges and opportunities shaping today’s global aviation landscape. Through keynote speeches, expert panels, and interactive sessions, the Rendezvous aims to foster dialogue and inspire forward-thinking solutions across all areas of aviation management and operations.

- San Marino AOC Applications: An overview led by the SM CAA Head of Flight Operations on the process for applying for a San Marino Air Operator Certificate (AOC).
- Technical Operations: Exploring MEL, EFB approvals, aircraft aging, support from Type Certificate holders, and Flight Data Recorders (FDR).
- Cybersecurity & Data Protection: Safeguarding aviation through enhanced IT security practices.
