According to Tangent Link, this year’s attendees consisted of the most significant number of delegations from countries around the world in the show’s history. The conference content was also well received as speakers from the global aerial firefighting industry, businesses, and organizations hosted dozens of well-attended sessions well received by the diverse audience.
This years show featured a record number of delegations from foreign countries with a need for aerial firefighting such as the Saudi Arabian contingent that stopped by the AerialFire booth to learn more about the publication. Quoting reasons including the smaller size and the ability to host meetings on-site and conduct business that is often more complex to achieve in a larger show environment. While the show was smaller than previous years due to the pandemic, it was regarded by many that spoke to AerialFire as one of the best they have attended. The smaller size of this years event gave vendors the ability to have longer and more insightful conversations with potential customers at the rustic Kukutel event venue in Tallinn. The venue, centered around a decommissioned steam plant for Tallinn, offered a unique experience for conference attendees used to the endless hallways and beige walls of a standard format convention center. That responsibility rested with Tangent Link Managing Director John Longhurst and his professional staff, who relocated the show to the coastal city of Tallinn, Estonia, for the 2021 show, which was hosted at the Kulkutel Conference Center in Tallinn. The show floor that featured around twenty vendors was well received by both attendees and vendors at the event. As the global pandemic caused havoc with the European aerospace conference circuit for another year, Tangent Link, the company that hosts Aerial Firefighting shows in both Europe and the United States were faced with a difficult decision, cancel the show for another year in Europe or find a suitable location that would fit the needs of the convention, and provide the ability for show participants to conduct business without the severe restrictions placed on conventions in other countries during the pandemic.
