Triggering Change: Factors driving air travel in 2022

Yesterday's dreams of electric powered air taxis and flying cars are turning into real urban air mobility projects. Join us as we turn dreams of the future into reality.

Alaska Airlines is on a growth track. The Seattle-based airline has joined the oneworld global alliance and forged a West Coast partnership with American Airlines that have significantly extended its network reach.

Lockheed Martin assembled an outstanding panel of industry and academic leaders to discuss taking edge computing technologies and capabilities to the tactical edge. This webinar will seek to address what edge computing is as it relates to defense applications, the defense capabilities that are enabled with edge computing, challenges, and solutions associated with implementation, as well as defense-specific needs to successfully implement advanced computing capabilities at the tactical edge.

In the webinar, our experts explored how airports will need to adapt and transform in the coming decades, with a focus on sustainability as it becomes increasingly important for airports to not only consider their own operations, but also the cities and regions that they serve.
