#SAFCongress
SAF Congress | Amsterdam
The world's largest SAF & aviation decarbonisation event
Advisory Board
0% C-Suite / Director level speakers.
View All SpeakersThe EU mandate reaches 20% by 2035. Getting there is a chain of deals - offtakes signed, plants financed, feedstocks secured. This May, the airlines, producers, investors and policymakers making those deals are at SAF Congress, Amsterdam.
Sharper programme
Fewer, stronger sessions with panels capped at five speakers - more airtime per voice, clearer takeaways.
Greater ambition
Streams finish at 16:00 and the energy moves to structured networking - matchmaking, roundtables and problem-solving workshops.
Bigger impact
Formats built to end in outcomes: private workshops, executive roundtables, debates and The Deal sessions - plus a stage for announcing the agreements that follow.
