Malaysia Airports Will Host The 2014 Event March 31 - April 2

Historically, airports were perceived as simple transportation hubs where planes and people depart and arrive. Today, modern 21st century airports have become much more, evolving into key nodes in global production and enterprise systems offering them speed, agility and connectivity. All commercial functions of a modern metropolitan center are locating on and immediately around major airport sites, transforming them from 'city airports' to 'airport cities'.

Airport Cities Conference and Exhibition (ACE) is about airports developing both as cities in their own right and as unique business and tourist destinations.  The 12th edition of ACE will be held on March 31 - April 2 2014 hosted by Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, Malaysia.

The event, which is billed as "the perfect platform for attendees to share experience, expertise and insights on airport city developments," is expected to attract over 110 airport operators from 45 countries.

"Airport Cities Conference and Exhibition regularly attract high level aviation decision makers and other industry leaders and we are looking forward to welcoming this community to Kuala Lumpur next spring," says Alex Kirby, EVP Airport Cities, UBM Live continuing: "The event will provide Malaysia Airports with the opportunity to discuss their own 'Aeropolis' development and will generate business and commercial development opportunities linked to the expansion of the airport city."
