Incorporating IT into Airport Construction Projects

Thursday June 21, 2012

The procurement and contracting processes for capital projects and information technology (IT) are normally very different at airports. However, airport sponsors and airlines can reap many benefits through effective planning that incorporate IT systems and infrastructure into the capital development projects. Join this webinar to learn best practices for the procurement and implementation of IT systems in airport construction programs from perspective of an Airport IT Manager, an Airline IT Infrastructure Program Manager, and a Deputy Airport Terminal Construction Program Manager.
