ACC Prepares Launch of ACC Connect to Strengthen Industry Collaboration

May 29, 2026 | News

Alexandria, VA –  The Airport Consultants Council (ACC) is excited for the upcoming launch of ACC Connect, a new online discussion community designed to bring airport industry professionals together to exchange insights, address challenges, and advance best practices across airport development.

A Platform Built for Industry Priorities

Built as a dedicated forum for ACC members and the new Communities of Practices (COPs), ACC Connect enables real-time conversations, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, and community-driven thought leadership across engineering, planning, construction, and design disciplines.

ACC Connect allows members to:

  • Start conversations about challenges impacting airport projects
  • Learn from peers across disciplines
  • Exchange resources, lessons learned, and proven approaches

Driving Meaningful Engagement from Day One

To ensure a strong and valuable launch, ACC is activating an internal engagement initiative focused on leadership participation and early momentum.

The ACC Board, key members, and committee leaders are encouraged to play an active role in shaping the platform by:

  • Posting one discussion per week
  • Commenting on 2–3 ongoing discussions
  • Sharing one resource, insight, or best practice

You play a key role in shaping the value of ACC Connect. Early participation will drive meaningful conversations and set the tone for member engagement.

Sample discussion prompts guiding early engagement include:

  • What is the biggest challenge you’re facing in airport project delivery right now?

  • How is your organization adapting to workforce shortages?

  • What trends are you seeing in terminal design and construction?

  • How are firms responding to evolving FAA funding priorities?

This exciting new platform launches on June 4! Look forward for a new way for connect and collaborate with the ACC Community.
