ABOUT GLOBAL AIM – ARUBA 2026
A New Destination. A Continued Commitment to Global AIM.
From 8–10 September 2026, the global AIM community will come together in Aruba, Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, for the IFAIMA Global AIM Conference 2026.
Global AIM has always been more than a conference. It is an opportunity for professionals from different regions, organizations, and operational environments to meet, reconnect, exchange experiences, and learn from one another.
This year's theme,
“AIS to AIM: What’s Holding Us Back — and How We Move Forward”
reflects a conversation taking place across the aviation industry. While significant progress has been made in the transition from AIS to AIM, challenges remain. Global AIM 2026 will provide a forum to discuss those challenges openly, share practical experiences, and explore opportunities for continued advancement.
Over three days, participants will engage in technical presentations, operational discussions, professional networking, and collaborative exchanges focused on the future of Aeronautical Information Management.
Whether you are involved in AIM, AIS, ATM, airport operations, aviation technology, regulation, or related fields, Global AIM offers an opportunity to contribute to the conversations shaping the future of aeronautical information.
We look forward to welcoming colleagues, partners, and friends from around the world to Aruba.
