Aleksander Deryabin Deputy Deirector at company Legal AssistanceParticipated in the Conference in 2011 and subsequent. The organization of the event in historical palaces is always at a high level, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, hospitality and a warm welcome left a great impression. The program is varied and interesting. All presentations and reports are carefully thought out and structured. The speakers are undisputed experts in air law, and some are legendary persons of aviation, which to a large extent determined the success of the Conference.
Coffee breaks, a Gala Dinner, a Cultural Program allowed the delegates to get to know each other better, to form new connections in the professional field for many years to come. The friendly and relaxed atmosphere left bright and positive impressions, and the Conference became a real holiday for professionals who are passionate about this topic.
I am grateful to the organizers and speakers for their work and efforts, as well as for the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful event. I wish you all continued success and look forward to attending more Air Law Conferences in the future.
Olga Antonova Deputy Head of Legal Department at MosgortransThe annual Air Law Conference is a unique event that brings together experts from all over the World and from different parts of Russia. They share invaluable practical experience in aviation, which will not be told in books. I thank the organizers for holding the event at a high level and for the opportunity to discuss topical issues with professionals who create trends in the transport industry and related new technologies.
Attila SIPOS Faculty Member of College of Law at Sharjah University, LL.M., PhDThis unique Air Law Conference has been organized on 10 occasions before. Which also means that these annual meetings have become a brand. A Brand, since year in, year out, aviation industry experts and professionals, academic participants with a multitude of students have got accustomed to these recurrent meetings designed to provide opportunity for exchanging their practical views, theoretical thoughts, concepts, and future visions. This year as usual this event is going to take place, and besides outstanding presentations, professional exchanges of knowledge and engagement in networking, we have got to offer much more than that. Namely, this event is again bound to give rise to long-lasting friendships, cultural experiences and memorable adventures. It is also the organizers, who can be given the credit for the quality, high-standard and valuable discussions as well as for the well-established brand, which makes me delighted to be present at the 11th Air Law Conference.
Anastasia TITOVA Head of Legal Department at Convers Avia AirlinesI express my gratitude to the organizers of the 11th Air Law Conference in Baku. The event was held at the proper level, it was full of satellite events, proposals and lively discussions. The locations chosen by the organizers for the conference and cultural program made the event very informative, interesting and informative. I am sure that each of the participants received not only professional experience, but also pleasant impressions. Thank you!
Elena SHIROKOVA Head of Legal Department at KronshtadtThe Air Law Conference is a unique event in Russia for lawyers who are working in the aviation industry. It's no secret that we have to work in a rather specific area of law, with limited information and available sources. There is also an opportunity to get useful information in a structured way and in a short time: there is not a single passing topic, not a single random speaker. Separately, it is worth noting the Organizers of the Conference, who from year to year, despite all external circumstances, manage to invite leading foreign experts. From my own experience, I can say that the Conference, in addition to gaining knowledge, is also an excellent platform for making acquaintances and acquiring new contacts, primarily due to the openness of the participants. The communication that takes place between sessions may well rival in usefulness that of the main event.
The Eleventh Air Law Conference will be held on October 7, 2022 at the Museum Center of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, one of the largest centers of culture, which is the visiting card of modern Baku. Located in the very center of the capital near Primorsky Boulevard, the Museum Center is a favorite leisure place for the Baku intellectuals. Built in 1960 according to the project of the famous Azerbaijani architect Gasan Mejidov, the museum immediately turned out to be in trend - already in 1961 the first exhibition was held in the gallery, which was dedicated to the First Manned Flight into Outer Space. Today, the Center houses the Azerbaijan State Museum of Musical Culture, the Azerbaijan State Museum of the Theater. J. Jabbarly and the Azerbaijan Museum "Istiglal", as well as the Art Gallery. The interiors of the Museum Center have repeatedly served as a decoration for events of various kinds and scales, including international ones, with the participation of the UN, UNESCO, the meetings of the International Organization of Turkic Culture (TURKSOY) and the CIS Member Countries for cultural cooperation, joint projects were implemented with the Russian Museum, the Hermitage and others World famous museums.
Museum Center of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan is located at Baku, Neftchilar Avenue, 49
