MACE founders Stanley Bugeja, Jonathan Dalli and Joshua Zammit expressed their commitment to staying at the forefront of the aviation industry and the importance of evolving with the industry's changing landscape. They brought in strategic partnerships and engaged thought leaders to positively shape the industry's future. Collectively they say: "The turnout, the quality of discussions and the networking opportunities exceeded our expectations. MACE continues to be a cornerstone event in the aviation industry, and we are proud to be part of this remarkable journey for the fifth consecutive year. The aviation community has once again come together to inspire and innovate, and we look forward to what the future holds for our industry. This is how we want MACE to continue evolving from a knowledge-centric and thought-leadership perspective."
