About the Series
Are you an airport manager interested in expanding or refreshing your knowledge in the fundamentals of airport operations or a new manager just getting started?

Would you like to gain a better understanding of LED lighting or environmental issues?

Each session will focus on two facility-related topics, and you'll learn valuable information from industry experts, MnDOT Aeronautics, and the FAA.
