Aviation & Space Symposium AS22 / Bodensee Aerospace Meeting BAM22

This year's Aviation & Space Symposium (#AS22) will take place on 1 & 2 June 2022 at the OLMA Exhibition in St. Gallen. As a unique highlight, the event will be held together with the 10th Bodensee Aerospace Meeting (#BAM22), bringing the industry event to Switzerland for the third time, hosted by the Swiss Aerospace Cluster and co-organized by four partner clusters from Germany (BodenseeAIRea, LR BW & bavAIRia) and Austria (AAIG).

To create a special experience for the 10th anniversary, both events complement each other, representing the largest cross-cluster Aerospace symposium in Europe.

The AS Symposium, organized by the Center for Aviation Competence of the University of St. Gallen, will focus on the sustainable future of civil aviation and opportunities in the New Space Economy.

Under the title New Frontiers: Aviation meets Space, a large table-top exhibition of companies from the DACH region will be combined with a top-class range of speakers from the aerospace industry. In this combination, the Aviation & Space Symposium will organise two expert panels for the conference part, which will present and discuss current research and industry trends to the B2B and academic audience and addressing the challenges of the future, followed by two exciting panel discussions.

#AS22 and #BAM22 will highlight the relaunch of global aeronautics under sustainability criteria as well as addressing the requirements of new space programs in a European context. The industrial exhibition will grow double compared to previous Bodensee Aerospace Meetings and an Academic Zone is added to host universities and presenting student projects. All conference presentations are broadcast LIVE on LED screens throughout the venue. This will allow networking activities to continue throughout the day. Within the BAM framework of Meet the Expert, participants will be able to engage in direct exchange with the experts after their presentations. (Link to the floor plan)

On the day before the conference, participants will have the opportunity to visit aerospace companies (Link to our industry partners) and to exchange ideas with representatives from industry, research and science at the networking evening. The organisers will treat the Symposium and BAM guests to Swiss specialities in the entertainment area (Moststube) of OLMA in St. Gallen. (Link to the welcome day program)

As a new feature, the premium partners Kopter/Leonardo, RUAG AG and AIRBUS will each invite existing and new partners to a direct exchange in their business lounges and offering the opportunity to talk about innovations with research institutions, SMEs and start-ups.

We are looking forward to your participation!
