Moving Airports & Passengers Forward at FTE Global 2026
September 8–10 | DFW | Booth C1
Airports are moving quickly as passenger volumes rise, expectations evolve, and new technologies and operating models take shape. Synect helps turn that change into better operations and passenger journeys through integrated strategy, content, platforms, and solutions.
At FTE Global 2026, see that approach in action through the debut of our new, propriety Airport Content Framework, our shared booth with Daktronics, and our panel on TSA Gold+ and the changing airport checkpoint.

1. See a Content Strategy Take Shape in Less Than 10 Minutes
Wednesday, September 9 | 10:30 a.m.
Airport communication planning should begin with clear airport goals, and a firm understanding of passenger's needs and wants across their journey.
Synect’s new, proprietary Airport Content Framework is an AI-powered platform that brings airport objectives, passenger profiles, journey stages, operational priorities, accessibility considerations, and communication best practices into one planning environment.
It's not just using AI to jump start asset creation. The Framework helps airport teams and parnters plan, develop, visualize, optimize, and validate a clear communication strategy.
See it during FTE’s AI Tech & Innovation Briefing on Wednesday, September 9 at 10:30 a.m. The tour starts in Booth I11.
Qualified airports and consultants can also request a personalized Airport Content Strategy Workshop. Only five appointments remain.
2. Understand What Is Changing at the Checkpoint
Wednesday, September 9 | 12:00 PM
Join leaders from airports, airlines, security, screening technology, and passenger communication for a practical look at what is changing at the checkpoint, what it means for airports, and what they should prepare for next.
"The Checkpoint Has Changed: Horizon 25, Public-Private Partnerships and the Future of Airport Security"
The airport security checkpoint is undergoing its most significant transformation in a generation. TSA's new Horizon 25 strategy, an evolved Screening Partnership Program, new screening technology, and new approaches to passenger processing are changing the rules of the checkpoint. It leaves airports asking important questions about airport operations, infrastructure, investment, and experience.
The panel will explore:
-
What TSA's evolved Screening Partnership Program means for your airport
-
How CT scanning, AI-assisted decisioning, and networked lanes are changing screening today
-
Why passenger communication remains critical to checkpoint performance
-
What airport leaders should evaluate and prepare for now
Speakers include Wendy Reiter of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Tom Ripp of Analogic, Jason Hausner of Delta Air Lines, Yahav Ran of Synect, and Trey Huelskamp of VMD Corp.
3. Experience Synect’s Content on Daktronics’ Displays in Booth C1
At Booth C1, Synect and Daktronics will show what happens when airport content and display technology are designed to work together.
Synect will showcase purpose-built content for passenger information, wayfinding, checkpoint communication, airport branding, and immersive experiences. Daktronics will feature flexible 1.2mm Chip-on-Board LED technology across three display formats:
-
Portal Wall: Airport storytelling and large-format passenger experiences
-
Totem: Wayfinding, queuing, branding, and targeted messaging
-
Flag Display: Gate information, alerts, and directional communication
Visitors will see a range of Synect airport content across functional and experiential applications. Daktronics’ modular display technology will demonstrate how different formats can wrap around corners, integrate into airport architecture, and maintain clarity at different viewing distances.
