About this event

A crisis accelerates innovation.

After COVID-19 was first detected in Wuhan in December of 2019, the virus crisscrossed the globe — reaching 29 countries in less than eight weeks. It soon became clear air travel was rapidly fuelling the spread of the virus, and humans weren’t the only ones in transit.

Fast forward to today, and innovators are reimagining airports not as porous gateways for viruses to slip through border measures, but as invaluable tools for if — and when — the next pandemic hits.

Two panel conversations will explore the evolution of fighting infection at airports, including:

  • AI-driven public health systems
  • Wastewater testing projects
  • Bio-sensor devices
  • Air filtration methods
  • Better building design
  • Harnessing airport data sources to drive public health policy

Register today to learn more about these innovations and other new approaches to infection control.
