REGISTERING FOR A MINI-MEETING
The mini-meetings registration process is done entirely online. A list of participating airlines will be sent to all registered participants under the mini-meeting category who request it. Each registered supplier will use his/her password (which is set at the time of registration) to book their mini-meetings. When accessing the mini-meetings section of the website, suppliers will be able to view the following:
- A list of registered airlines up to that moment.
- Each airline representative will have listed their specific area: Purchasing, Repair or General (Note: some airlines will have more than one table available)
- The available time for each meeting is ten (10) minutes per meeting unless the event organizer requires an adjustment.
- The name of the airline representative will not be shown during the Mini-meeting register.
DURING THE MINI-MEETINGS
- The mini-meeting ballroom will have a clock displaying the time left for each meeting.
- Suppliers that are registered for a mini-meeting may wait in a room next to the main meeting room.
- A floorplan of the meeting tables will be displayed for the suppliers to identify the location of the respective airlines or MROs.
- A maximum of two attendees from the same supplier company may participate in each mini-meeting. Both must be registered as mini-meeting attendees and only one should have requested the meeting.
- An announcement will be made to indicate when there is one minute left for each meeting.
We strongly request all suppliers to respect these time limits!

MINI MEETINGS FAQ
Throughout the first three stages, attendees may begin by registering to three mini-meetings per stage. In case of availability, a fourth stage will be open. This limit is established to provide all participants registered under the mini-meeting category a fair chance to select meetings.
Please be aware that during each one of the stages all mini-meetings will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We highly recommend all participants registered under the mini-meeting category to register his/her mini-meetings as soon as we open each one of the stages.
Stage 1 | May 9th, 2024 | 3 mini-meetings (4 weeks before the event)

Yes, however remember that the system is based on a first-come, first-serve basis.
No, with your own User ID and password you may access the website as many times as you wish to select or modify your choices.
Yes, you are able to make all the changes that you wish, which of course are subject to the airline’s availability and other general restrictions.
The agenda tool will immediately confirm the requested meetings.
Each mini-meeting has a duration of 10 minutes. Out of fairness to airline personnel and fellow suppliers, mini-meeting participants must respect the 10-minute limit. The CCMA staff will provide an audible tone to signal each appointment. Please respect the 10-minute limit by leaving the table immediately.
This is precisely why, in addition to the meeting sessions, the CCMA/MRO offers a full and varied agenda of social and networking activities, so that business opportunities are not solely limited to the private mini-meeting schedule. The social and networking activities are a great way to interact with all the participants and serve as a tool for maximizing your objective.
Yes, as long as they provide different services. ALTA will monitor mini-meetings and might contact you to question about multiple meetings with the same airline to ensure that all participants have the same opportunities
Up to two supplier’s representatives registered under the mini-meeting category from the same company are permitted at any given mini-meeting appointment. Despite this, the mini-meeting must be booked by only one of the representatives.
Only the participants who have meetings scheduled on that time slot will be permitted in the mini-meetings room. At no time will accompanying guests (non-commercial companions) be allowed in the mini-meeting area.
Not showing up for a pre-scheduled meeting not only negatively affects the selected airline, but also other suppliers, since both will have lost a time slot. We therefore recommend that you take time to carefully analyze each of the potential mini-meetings that you wish to attend during CCMA and that you attend the mini-meetings you schedule.
