Conferences & Events

The Association of Airport Internal Auditors (AAIA) had its first conference in 1990 in Orlando, Florida, and, through 2019, hosted 30 consecutive conferences that have met the needs and interests of Airport Internal Auditors. Then the COVID-19 Pandemic struck and the 31^st Annual Conference was rescheduled from June 2020 to September 2021 in Clearwater, Florida, and was hosted by Tampa International Airport.

Most recently, the 33^rdAnnual Conference was held during May 2023. The conference was hosted by Salt Lake City International Airport.

The 34th AAIA Annual Conference will be hosted by the San Antonio International Airport in San Antonio, Texas. More information will be posted to the website as it becomes available!

Airports that host an AAIA Conference generate an economic benefit for their community, have the opportunity to showcase their region and their airport, and provide low cost professional development and networking opportunities for their staff.

Members Only: ESG Fundamentals

Organizations today are facing more and more requirements around Sustainability Reporting. Regulatory guidelines are steadily increasing. This session gave attendees pragmatic options to consider as they build their initial sustainability report or continue to move their sustainability program up the maturity curve.

This webinar was presented by Timothy Lietz, National Practice Leader for Risk and Compliance at Jefferson Wells.

The webinar was held on Tuesday, December 5, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. EDT. Invitations to register to the webinar were sent November 6, 2023.

.AAIA Virtual Roundtable

You can engage with fellow AAIA members to ask, share, and learn in a lively on-line discussion platform while earning NASBA approved CPE credit - for free!The next AAIA Virtual Forum will be held in 2024. The exact date will be posted on the website when scheduled. Invitations to join the discussion are sent to members only.

It was determined to change the name of the virtual forum calls to Virtual Roundtable to minimize confusion with the Forum message board.
