Airtec 2008. International Aerospace Supply Fair

Nov 11, 2008 - Nov 14, 2008,
Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre , Frankfurt am Main, Hessen Germany

The AIRTEC 2008 will follow the path of the previous fairs and will incorporate the new challenges which are set out for the international aerospace supply chain. Therefore the fair adjusts its focus every year. Among other things new special feature programmes and theme parks will be part of the fair this year. Nevertheless the main focus will remain on the 2nd and 3rd tier supplier. The 1st tier supplier and the OEM’s will also receive higher attention by specific elaborated fair contents and special feature programmes. Its worth to mention in this context, that the UAV-World (unmanned aerial vehicles) was truly a highlight at AIRTEC 2007 with the presentation of drones and its technology in a special exhibition. Also the competitive flight show attracted a lot of attention. In 2008 the UAV World will be -of course- again one of five theme parks. With this concept the AIRTEC separates itself from airshows and is a ‘must’ for everyone in the aerospace supply chain.

6th International Rail Forum

Nov 11, 2008 - Nov 13, 2008,
Madrid, Madrid Spain

Rail Forum has helped bring to light the main concerns of this sector. The main conclusions of the fifth edition of Rail Forum are as follows:

* Metro and local rail must be promoted in large European cities in order to improve mobility. Two types of action are needed for this: investment in building new commuter, metro and light-rail lines and rebuild existing ones.
* Europe must continue to invest in new High Speed lines which connect city centres to each other and also connect to airports. They must comply with the general standards of interoperability.
* Governments must create a freight railway network and the appropriate connections to ports and logistic areas with the appropriate facilities, thus allowing them to be competitive and to recuperate the share in the market that was lost to road transport. As a result, traffic congestion, road accidents and pollution will be reduced.
* Unified standards and clear European legislation of minimum requirements to authorise the operation of railways lines must be urgently created. The European Commission must urge Governments to fulfil their obligation to give high priority to and invest in interoperability, construction of new lines and interconnections of national lines. Liberalisation of both freight and passenger traffic must also be taken into account in order to promote the European rail network as a whole.

Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit

Identity theft. Unauthorized access to sensitive systems, data, credit cards, trade secrets ... exposed in a flash.

Breaches of identity and access management (IAM) lead to billions of dollars of losses each year, both reported and unreported. On the flip side, there's the confusion, frustration and lost productivity organizations must deal with as they struggle to manage legitimate access for their employees, partners and customers to the electronic systems they genuinely need.

The Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit is designed to help organizations address the growing exposure that IAM inefficiencies and lapses create.
