In 2022, the Airport Parking Network Programme (APNE) returned in person in Madrid.
For over a decade, the programme has brought airport parking professionals together with solution and service providers, offering a focused environment for meaningful networking within an industry often centred around large trade shows.
The 13th edition featured discussions on e-commerce, staff parking, capacity management, dynamic pricing, EV charging and parking technology innovations. Interactive workshops covered topics such as the power of data, leveraging parking apps, enhancing the customer experience and connecting the journey from curbside to airside.
