Maximize Your Impact at Routes Americas 2026
Routes Americas 2026, taking place March 3–5 at ExpoRio CIDADE NOVA in Rio de Janeiro, is where senior route development professionals, airlines, airports, tourism authorities, and aviation stakeholders gather to plan and negotiate future air services. As the only route development forum dedicated to the Americas, the event drives strategic conversations that shape the commercial aviation landscape across North, Central, and South America.
Decision-makers attending include heads of network planning, commercial directors, and senior tourism strategists. These professionals are directly responsible for expanding airline connectivity, allocating budget for new routes, and managing commercial partnerships. Meetings booked ahead of the event often result in route launches or revisions to multi-year operational plans. With the enriched conference attendee list from Vendelux, your team gains early insight into who is attending, what companies are evaluating growth, and how they’re prioritizing route development. This supports informed, targeted outreach that leads with relevance.
How Sales, Marketing and Revops Teams Can Use This Attendee List
For GTM teams focused on the aviation, travel, or infrastructure sectors, the opportunity to engage air service decision-makers at Routes Americas is highly strategic. With Vendelux’s enriched attendee data, teams can segment airline versus airport contacts, align outreach based on whether they are expanding into new regions or modernizing existing capacity, and prioritize conversations with budget-influencing roles.
For example, an airport automation provider could identify carriers looking to upgrade ground processes, or a route planning SaaS platform might engage commercial teams evaluating analytics tools. Booking meetings with verified network planners—before they lock in their schedules—is key to getting on the agenda. Post-event, the same enriched conference attendee list helps teams follow up based on actual conversations, new route announcements, or partnership interest. This is how to get more meetings and convert conference attendees into revenue opportunities.
Timing Is Everything
Routes Americas 2026 will be held March 3–5, 2026. Given the planning nature of the event, decision-making begins well in advance. Many attendees lock in their schedules months before March, with meetings pre-booked through the Routes appointment system.
Starting outreach as early as November 2025 allows your team to reach buyers ahead of the competition. Vendelux enables sales and marketing to identify relevant contacts from the attendee list and align messaging to their planning timelines. Early engagement will help secure priority meetings, identify alignment between your solutions and their 2026–2027 network goals, and set the stage for meaningful in-person conversations in Rio.
