With the support of the European Commission and EUROCONTROL, this conference will bring together leaders from governmental agencies, airports and airlines, manufacturers and general aviation, as well as the political leadership of Europe and the United States, to discuss current challenges and look ahead to future ones.

The theme of the conference is "US-EU Cooperation at a Crossroads." The historic cooperation that has made the transatlantic aviation relationship the cornerstone of global aviation progress in technology, safety, security and the environment is threatening to come apart.

Is trust broken? Can the US and the EU find common ground on environmental issues at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) when they couldn't do so at Copenhagen? Will foreign investment issues spell the end of the Open Skies Agreement? What effect will legislative, regulatory and political developments have on bilateral aviation safety cooperation in the future? Can the two sides find a way to work together toward seamless integration of their respective air traffic control networks as both sides move toward a satellite-based system? What will the volcanic ash problem mean for industry?
