    About Airport Cities World Conference and Exhibition (ACE)

    Historically, airports were perceived as simple transportation hubs where

planes and people depart and arrive. Today, modern 21st century airports have

become much more, evolving into key nodes in global production and enterprise

systems offering them speed, agility and connectivity. They are also powerful

engines of local economic development, attracting aviation-linked businesses of

all types to their environs.

    The next edition of ACE 2014 will be held on 31 March-2 April 2014 hosted

by MAHB at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Malaysia. The event is expected

to attract over 110 airport operators from 45 countries.
