EASA Annual Safety Conference

EASA's flagship annual safety event. Two days bringing European aviation industry, ANSPs, training organizations, and EASA leadership together around the year's safety priorities and regulatory direction.

November 18–19, 2026Venue to be announced, Dublin, Ireland~700 attendees

What to expect

The Annual Safety Conference is EASA's primary public-facing event for setting the safety agenda. Expect plenary sessions on the year's accident and incident data, regulatory direction on key topics (Part-FCL, SMS, hazardous-attitude prevention, sustainability), and breakouts on specific operational segments. The audience is decidedly senior — heads of safety, training department leadership, and authority representatives. The 2026 conference is hosted in Dublin, Ireland. The conference rotates between European cities annually, and attendance is invitation-supplemented but generally open to industry stakeholders.

Why flight schools attend

ATO chief instructors and safety officers find the EASA Annual Safety Conference uniquely valuable for understanding the regulatory direction EASA is taking — particularly on Part-FCL evolution, SMS implementation, and emerging safety priorities. Schools that proactively align with the conference content avoid being on the back foot when regulatory changes land.

Generally yes, though invitation-supplemented. Registration typically opens via easa.europa.eu about three months before the event. Smaller ATOs occasionally find space limited and should register early.
