Highlighted will be the global development of the Airbus A380, Boeing 7E7, Airbus A400, and the Galileo satellite network.

In addition to a keynote address by Noel Forgeard, President & CEO of Airbus, the Symposium will feature presentations, panel discussions and interactive workshops on the globalization of supply chain management.

"The aviation, aerospace and space industries have become nearly borderless. New commercial aircraft, missile and satellite programs all have extensive global supply chains and demand cross-cultural teaming among hundreds of companies in order to succeed," said Aviation Week Executive Vice President/Publisher Kenneth E. Gazzola. "This Symposium will give executives a new forum for promoting ideas and action that will strengthen industry relationships across the Atlantic and around the world."

The 2nd Annual Aviation Week-Toulouse Symposium is produced in partnership with Airbus Industrie, Alcatel Space, Astrium, and supported by the City of Toulouse, the Regional Council of Midi Pyrenees, the General Council of Haute Garonne and the Toulouse Chamber of Commerce.
