Dear WALA Delegates
The next edition of WALA (Worldwide Airport Lawyers Association) will be taking place in Willemstad, Curacao, next May 26-28, kindly hosted by Curacao Airport Holding (CAH), Curacao Airport Partners (CAP), Curacao Touristic Board (CTB), and Dutch Caribbean Air Navigation Service Provider (DCANSP).
Registration and all information can be found at https://abiaxair.com/wala2025/
This will be our 15th conference, so we are planning a unique edition. For example:
(*) We included several optional activities for those who can extend their stay and enjoy this fantastic Caribbean destination.
(*) We will also be posting on site a photo gallery of these 15 editions. If you have a nice picture for us to include please send it to wala@abiaxair.com.
(*) The conference venue is the Riff at Mangrove Beach, an “all inclusive” resort that includes a recently inaugurated conference center, all food and drinks, 5 specialty restaurants and beach services. Note that delegates not registered in this hotel might need to pay a daily entrance ticket, which are limited.
(*) The welcome cocktail on Monday 26 will be taking place at Grand Café ‘Gouverneur De Rouville’, located in the downtown village, with great views to Queen Emma’s bridge.
In terms of the content of the conference, we are in the process of preparing the agenda and topics to be discussed, which will follow the 3 traditional WALA segments:
- The pre-conference seminar sponsored by Lefosse Advogados: “Airport Concessions: weaknesses after 30 successful years”
- WALA conference: “15 years promoting airport law”
- The Urban Mobility Legal Forum “Law in Low Skies: Navigating Urban Airspace and Ground Regulations”
