The 2010 ARN Conference & Exhibition attracted a record 617 attendees, many of whom say the outcome was better than they expected. Hear what they had to say about their experience at ARN.

I believe the ARN conference is an event that should not be missed by any airport, and we certainly plan to be there next year.
