Global Load Control (GLC) is proud to be the Platinum Sponsor at the upcoming GHI 6th African Stakeholders’ Conference, making its debut in our home city of Cape Town on September 12-13, 2023, at the Century City Conference Centre. This prestigious event, hosted by Ground Handling International, is a vital platform for key decision-makers from airlines, ground handlers, airports, and equipment suppliers across Africa and beyond.
After a two-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s GHI Africa conference is expected to attract over 300 senior industry professionals. With Africa experiencing significant air traffic growth and increased global attention, GLC’s Platinum Sponsorship provides a fantastic opportunity to strengthen our brand presence and showcase our expertise to the wider aviation market.
A Unique Opportunity to Showcase Our Expertise
As the Platinum Sponsor, GLC will take center stage with a series of speaker slots, highlighting our extensive aviation expertise and innovative approach. These sessions will offer valuable insights and industry knowledge from some of our top executives:
- Markus Becker, Managing Director at GLC, will open the conference with a keynote address titled “The Market Outlook: High Growth or Low Growth? Divided or as One? Four Scenarios Governing the Future Prosperity of African Aviation.” He will explore the challenges and opportunities that African aviation faces, from accommodating increased travel demands to addressing infrastructure limitations and sustainability concerns.
- Zachary Steglin, GLC’s Business Unit Manager for CLC, will present a session on “Skills Development: Seizing the Advantages of Diversity and Inclusion” by showcasing our LangVantage program, which captures and inspires young talent to enter the aviation sector through a mix of technical and language skill development.
- Chanelle Fortune, GLC’s Operation Enablement Executive, will join a panel discussion on “Technology: Digitisation of the African Apron” to share insights on how GLC is driving digital transformation in ground handling. The panel will examine the potential for automation, AI, and other innovations to overcome operational challenges in African markets.
Leveraging the Home Advantage
Being the event’s Platinum Sponsor in our home city has distinct benefits. Our proximity to the Cape Town office allows us to better utilise our resources to make a lasting impact on the local and global aviation community. As part of the sponsorship package, GLC is hosting a private site visit and customer event on September 11th, where we will invite a select group of airline decision-makers to our office for an exclusive tour. This visit will provide attendees with a first-hand look at our state-of-the-art facilities and live operations, giving us an unparalleled opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities as the industry’s leading remote aviation service provider.
Showcasing Our Commitment to African Aviation
The African aviation market is on the cusp of transformation, with growing interest from industry leaders to support its development and address challenges such as outdated infrastructure, regulatory inconsistencies, and a lack of standardisation. By partnering with GHI as the Platinum Sponsor, GLC is not only reinforcing its commitment to the region’s growth but also positioning itself as a thought leader and trusted partner for shaping the future of aviation in Africa.
We are excited to leverage this opportunity to engage with stakeholders, exchange knowledge, and share our vision for the future of aviation in Africa. The GHI African Stakeholders’ Conference is set to be an impactful event, and we look forward to making a meaningful contribution to the discussions that will shape the continent’s aviation landscape.
