Conference programmes are now being developed for the following conference streams at EATS 2024.
- Airline Pilot Training, with a side stream for ATO/Ab Initio Training

To propose a presentation for any of the EATS conference streams, please complete the online form below by Monday 1st July 2024, and provide the following:
- 250-300 word abstract.
- A recorded 3 minute video, either of the speaker presenting the abstract or of a previous industry conference presentation.
- A short biography of the speaker(s), which should include title, position, employer and conference presentation experience.
- A photo of (each of) the speaker(s).
Only entries with all documents and the completed form will be considered.
For all conference tracks, presentation proposals should address an aspect of aviation training and education in one or more of the following categories:
- Airline and MRO stability and growth, including hiring, recurrent/retraining, and staffing shortages.
- Training the next generation, including ATOs, MTOs, diversity funding, EBT/CBT/CBTA, MPL, and instructor standardisation.
- Technology enablers, including FSTDs, AR/MR/VR/XR, Big Data/AI/Cloud/Metaverse.
- Human factors and personnel readiness, including cognitive processes, mental health, biometrics/tracking sensors, situational awareness and UPRT.
- Emergent aviation modes, including advanced air mobility (AAM/eVTOL/UAM).
- Environmental sustainability, including electric aircraft and green ATO.
- Business aviation training challenges and solutions.
- Cabin crew training challenges and solutions, including unruly pax.
- Maintenance technician training challenges and solutions.
- Regulatory challenges and developments.
- OEMs and Industry Association roles.
EATS is an ‘applied’ conference and while full academic papers are not appropriate, we will consider summaries of appropriate aviation training and education research projects, particularly if there is international application.
Preference will be given to air carriers and training organisations with real-world training insights, ‘Lessons Learned’ and training ‘solutions and outcomes’ information. In no case will sales presentations be accepted. Presentations must fit into the EATS format, which is 20 minutes maximum, followed by a Q&A period.
We sincerely thank all those who propose presentations and will respond to all submissions.
