About

Since 1985, this symposium has brought together national and international stakeholders to address the most pressing environmental concerns of airports. The aviation industry is constantly moving forward with crafting improvements to aircraft and flight path noise and emissions impacts, but we are doing so now at an accelerated rate due to the pandemic. Changes in where people live and work has reshaped the blueprint of what needs to be considered throughout the development and planning of aviation systems. Additionally, there is increasing demand for climate conscientious travel options due to the expanding impacts.

Symposium History

Recent advances in technology and best practices for airports requires a diverse set of skills and an extensive knowledge base.  The NextGen launch, changes to noise remediation practices, and the latest findings from health effects studies require new approaches.  Since 1985 the University of California has organized the Aviation Noise & Emissions symposium addressing the most pressing environmental concerns of airports. Join us this yearly for a program packed with talks by top experts and colleagues on key topics impacting the aviation sector.

With a diverse audience of stakeholders - from airport staff to researchers; from government regulators to vendors of technologies, services and solutions; and from concerned community members to established community groups - the ANE Symposium is a unique opportunity for all whom attend!

Past Programs

The 2023 hybrid symposium brought together more than 170 national and international stakeholders, both in-person and online, to discuss the latest developments in aviation policy, regulations, and research advancements. We hope to continue the trend of including voices from every sector to discuss the vital issues surrounding noise and emissions from the aviation sector at the 2024 event.
