PROGRAMME Welcome Once again we are delighted to host this important, not-for-profit Symposium which has become regarded as one of the most respected events on the industry calendar for its ability to surface, challenge and address the tough issues facing the management of safety in our industry. Deliberately timed to coincide with our industry’s paradigm shift to performance based oversight – moving through and beyond compliance to performance - our aim is to bring influential speakers and delegates from all quarters of the industry to debate what this means in reality and discuss how well it is being addressed. We are privileged to have the support of a wealth of high-calibre speakers from civil and defence aviation, as well representatives from the UK Civil Aviation Authority and the Military Aviation Authority. Fourth European Aviation Safety Symposium May I first of all take this opportunity to thank our speakers, who have all given their time freely to make the event the success I know it will be. In a time of austere budgets and with challenging demands on our professional availability, I would also like to sincerely thank everyone attending the symposium for making the effort to do so. I can promise that you will find this both a personally and professionally rewarding two days. Through Compliance to Performance This is the latest safety management challenge facing the aviation industry. As we move from the traditional ‘binary mindset’ of compliant or non compliant, we now need to understand how to move beyond compliance to a performance-orientated world that requires us to provide evidence of safety management performance. Understanding how to measure and improve business performance through the operation of effective safety management systems is the driving force behind this year’s symposium. By showcasing real life examples of the latest progressive thinking, we will see how this powerful new change can be a positive force that contributes strategically, financially and operationally to our organisations. We will see that there is substantive evidence to prove that safety performance is very good for business and as such needs to be understood to be a strategic advantage with multiple areas of business payback - not just a necessary bottom line cost. Through our distinguished line-up of speakers and facilitated workshop sessions, we will share best practice, discuss the challenges you face and help shape appropriate solutions for you to take back into your workplace. In addition, our live voting sessions at the end of every presentation will provide us with an in-depth gauge of how our industry (as represented by you, our delegates) is responding to and gearing up for the changes ahead. We will use this intelligence to produce the first ever industry report on the subject of aviation safety performance and would like to thank you for being part of this innovative benchmark debate. Finally, our gala awards dinner will celebrate ‘Performance in Aviation Safety’, recognising and awarding people and organisations that have demonstrated major achievements in safety performance improvement. We were highly impressed by the number and calibre of entries and can promise an evening of exceptional insight and entertainment. This Symposium is a unique forum to meet with your fellow aviation and safety professionals, so please make the most of the excellent networking opportunities while you are here. Above all, please contribute your thoughts, ask questions and offer ideas for debate so that you can enjoy the many benefits being at this Symposium offers.
