Airport City Developers Forum

Our annual "flagship" event, held in Airport Cities every year in September.

The Airport City Developers Network (ACD’N) is an exclusive community of experts in real estate, urban planning, business development, and property management, dedicated to advancing Airport City development. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, ACD’N sets new industry standards and addresses both current and future challenges in the field.

An Airport City encompasses all urban and commercial activities at and around an airport, including offices, hotels, logistics, retail, and conference infrastructure. 

 

Be part of this journey!

Airports all around the world understand the possibilities of airport cities! But how to develop them?

If you are or will be developing an airport city in your country, be part of the global Airport City Developer's network!

  • Discuss challenges and possibilities
  • Share your experiences
  • Get access to the knowledge of your colleagues from other airports
  • Shape models to face the future in the network

Airport City Developers Forum

Munich 2025

We had three fantastic days during the ACDF in Munich at the ACDF 25!

This third ACDF was a co-creation with Vienna Airport in charge of content and process, and Munich Airport / LabCampus in charge of the venue, the catering, great inputs, a bus tour and the well being!

Peter de Leeuw was again the main driver, Johanna Sonnenburg took care of the quality, and René Droese and his team at LabCampus organised everything great on site and used the opportunity to discuss the Munich Airport City projects in depth!

Also to mention Henrik Rothe, who helped out as a moderator.
