Aviation Disaster Conference

11 November 2010 / One America Square London, UK
Registration to open 1 February 2010

AViCON is set to return to a London venue in the autumn of 2010. This highly successful format is gathering reputation and recognition on both sides of the Atlantic.

I found the material presented very interesting and realistic, the location very appropriate, the speakers very engaging and professional, and the entire experience very much worth my time. I look forward to seeing you at another AViCON and/or industry event.

The previous two AViCON events have attracted well respected speakers and delegates from the legal profession and insurance market. Speakers have included aviation professionals, law partners and associates from: Alimonti Law Offices, Barlow Lyde & Gilbert, Blank Rome, Bryan Cave, Clyde & Co., Condon Forsyth, Cozen O'Connor, Cranfield University, DLA Piper, Gates & Partners, Ince & Co., Kenyon International Emergency Services, Podhurst Orseck, and Xchanging. AViCON 2010 will follow the same configuration, whereby the speakers and delegates move along the timeline of an accident investigation, to legal discovery, multi-party litigation and resolution. Previous AViCON events have worked around the scenario of a new entrant airline, buying new technology airframe that suffers a survivable failure to an engine.

This failure subsequently results in multiple fatalities due to a range of issues that include:

• Organisational Failures
• Crew Competence
• Possible Bogus Parts
• Defective Warning Systems
•  

All are set within an environment that includes many possible choices of forum and law. The 2010 accident scenario will be presented with state-of-the-art animation prepared by RTI Group's Magic Motion Studios, and will highlight a fresh set of complex issues of current concern and debate within the aviation market. This event remains a unique opportunity for all those concerned with aviation safety management — from the operational side of aviation management and aviation claims — to gain a fuller understanding of the entire range of complexities involved in an aviation accident in a concise, concentrated format.

This conference will be of interest to anyone involved in Aviation Insurance — underwriters, claims managers, lawyers, risk managers, insurance brokers, airline flight safety directors, airline board members with flight safety responsibility, claims investigators and aircraft product manufacturers.

AViCON 2010 is currently in the process of registering for a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Accreditation.
