Winter Operations Management Conference 2026

In partnership with the AAAE Northeast Chapter (NEC), the Winter Operations Management Conference will be held June 8--10 in Salt Lake City, UT. This popular annual conference will focus on the challenges associated with winter operations at airports and take an in-depth look at the issues, regulations, and new technologies. Through detailed presentations, technology updates, and informative moderated discussions, key airport, airline, and air traffic control decision-makers will address complex issues surrounding winter operations at airports. The conference will feature case studies illustrating approaches to snow and ice removal, financial planning for winter operations, workforce development post-pandemic, autonomous snow-removal vehicles, and more. Attendees will receive updates on compliance and regulatory actions from the FAA, as well as exploring weather forecasting and centralized deicing facilities. While originally a resource for large hub operators, medium and small hubs also attend and benefit. Southern airports are strongly encouraged to attend this important annual event. The conference kicks off with an interactive session focused on the hottest topics in an ever-changing environment.
