World Aviation Festival focuses on the business and technology of aviation. Airline retail, airport systems and operational technology are distinct markets. Decide which team and workflow your offer serves before combining companies from the exhibitor or sponsor ecosystem into a prospect list.

Planning detail for this edition
The event is at FIL in Lisbon. The organizer publishes different conference and exhibition hours, so plan meetings around the relevant timetable.
How to focus your event research
Choose a single objective for the first round of research. A sourcing decision, a partnership introduction and a product evaluation need different evidence. Use these areas to organize your shortlist, then check each company’s current offering and role against the official event resources.
- Airline retail and passenger experience
- Airport technology
- Aviation business models
- Technology suppliers and startup products
Explore the exhibitor and attendee overview
For an overview of the company and people records available in Lensmor, explore the World Aviation Festival 2026 exhibitor and attendee insights. Use the audience mix to narrow your research before reviewing individual records in the product. Lensmor’s recorded profiles are event-related research signals; they do not represent the organizer’s complete registration database or confirm that every person will attend.
Start with the relevant company categories and geographies rather than the largest available list. Review the coverage and classification shown on the overview page, then open Lensmor to research available individual companies and people. Confirm company fit and the reason for a meeting before treating a recorded profile as a prospect.

A practical meeting plan for World Aviation Festival 2026
Build separate research lanes for airlines, airports and technology partners. Use the agenda to find the conversations most relevant to your operating question, then align demos with those sessions. In follow-up, describe the workflow and integration assumptions discussed rather than treating every aviation contact as the same buyer.
Questions to take into priority conversations
- Which airline or airport workflow is being improved?
- What existing systems and data interfaces must the solution connect to?
- Who owns evaluation, deployment and ongoing operation?
- What practical pilot would establish whether the product fits?
Prepare a shortlist the team can use
For each priority company, record its role, the evidence behind the fit, the question you want to resolve, the appropriate contact route and a named internal owner. Keep possible customers, suppliers, partners and competitors distinguishable. The result should be a short research queue that another colleague can review without repeating the entire investigation.
Protect time between appointments to write down what was actually discussed. Separate an agreed next step from a promising introduction. In follow-up, send the document, demonstration request or working-session proposal that the other party asked for, and give the internal owner enough context to continue the discussion.
