Elevating Safety Through Shared Experience The Southeast Asia Aviation Safety Conference isn’t your typical safety conference. It’s a regional gathering built from the ground up; designed to listen first, collaborate widely, and tailor safety improvement efforts to fit the real-world challenges of operators and regulators across Southeast Asia. We’re here to build a community of trust, learning, and regional safety leadership. Why Attend? In a region where aviation growth is rapid and regulatory landscapes are varied, this event offers a critical opportunity for stakeholders from across the spectrum— regulators, operators, engineers, maintenance techs, OEMs, trainers, and safety leaders— to come together for meaningful two-way conversations and shared action. The conference seeks to: Build sustainable, operator-led safety cultures Foster cross-sector collaboration Move from “talking at” operators to partnering with them Break down communication silos between regulators and operators Adapt global safety frameworks (like safety management systems) to fit local realities. Who Should Attend? Helicopter and fixed-wing operators Emerging technology developers and operators (e.g., advanced air mobility & electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, unmanned aircraft systems/drones) Offshore, energy, utility, air ambulance, and charter providers Leaders, safety professionals, flight operations, engineers, maintenance technicians, and training leaders Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) representatives Insurers, OEMs, aviation education organizations, and aviation service providers.
