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:
We strongly request all suppliers to respect these time limits!
Important Facts to Know When Registering for Mini-Meetings
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.
Mini-meetings will be opened at 12:00 noon Eastern Standard Time on the given dates before. We will send you an email a few days before the beginning of the mini-meetings selection process to notify you when you may start selecting mini-meetings.
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 or your teammate 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.
For an additional USD $220 for a registered Sponsor participant without mini meeting or USD $350 usd for a registered Non-Sponsor participant will be able to attend mini meetings as a business companion mini meetings registered participant alongside same company colleague who has a registration with mini meetings badge and accompany his colleague to their pre-scheduled mini meetings. If you would like to update your registration, please contact conferencesandmeetings@alta.aero . We strongly encourage you to have at hand the information of the supplier with mini-meetings you will join as a business companion.
