    The videos further demonstrate the unique position of ATC Global within the

international ATM market, showcasing the quality, diversity and geographical

reach of its attendee base alongside the delivery of a world-class,

content-rich education programme.

    - A truly global gathering of the ATM community

    ATM buyers from 107 countries attended including senior delegations from

China, South East Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.

    One of the largest international delegations was from China, with over 70

senior ATM professionals from the CAAC ATMB, the Hong Kong CAD and all regional

Chinese ATM Bureaus present.

    Mr. Zhao Fan, Director at the Technical Center CAAC ATMB, commented, "It

has been extremely important for us to attend ATC Global to engage with other

ATM professionals from across the world, meet with technology suppliers and

participate in key discussions on the future of the industry and the part China

will play over the next few years."

    - Senior ATM buyers congregated in Amsterdam to conduct business

    ATC Global played host to a wide range of international ATM buyers, with a

marked increased in buyer seniority - a rise of 5% in the number of Presidents,

Directors and Senior Managers.

    The 2013 event also saw the return of the VIP Hosted Buyer Programme which

this year welcomed senior ANSP procurement personnel from 17 countries. As part

of the programme, the ATC Global team facilitated over 400 meetings with

exhibitors and these buyers alone represented in excess of $700million in

planned investment.

    The event also continued to attract the full spectrum of ATM sectors

including notable increases in representations from airports, airlines and the

military.

    "ATC Global was a great success for us. The success is related to the

critically important Hosted Buyer Programme. The qualification of our visitors

proved to be beneficial for both parties. Intelcan is looking forward to

continuing its support to, and presence at, ATC Global 2014," commented Amanda

Ellis, Director, Intelcan.

    - Conference, Workshops and Seminars tackle the hard issues of ATM

    Conference, seminar and workshop attendees at ATC Global 2013 heard a wide

range of industry experts and decision-makers address some of the tough,

usually unaddressed, issues confronting ATM managers today.

    Sylviane Lust, Director General of IACA, said, "We work in an industry with

a lot of slogan and communication. Here [at the ATC Global conference] we have

the chance to show figures and really to have a reality check from our point of

view, I believe it is always important to convey that message."
