As anticipation builds for GSE Expo Europe, the GHI Podcast launches a special preview series exploring the people, ideas and innovations that make this event one of the most important gatherings in the ground support equipment industry.

Hosted by Sophie Skinner-Jones and Alice Clarke, this first episode welcomes Jennifer Zecchino, Executive Director of IAEMA, and Ben Reeves, IAEMA Chair, for a conversation about what attendees can expect from this year's event, and the unique value of bringing the industry together under one roof.

Beyond the latest equipment, technologies and business opportunities, the discussion highlights the power of face-to-face networking and the relationships that continue to shape the future of aviation ground support.

"What makes GSE Expo Europe truly special isn't just the equipment, it's the people. Some of the best conversations don't happen during scheduled meetings. They happen while walking the aisles, catching up with longtime colleagues, meeting someone new over coffee, or discovering a solution you didn't even know you were looking for. Those conversations often turn into partnerships that last for years." Jennifer Zecchino, Executive Director, IAEMA

Join us as we preview the event, uncover key industry trends, and explore why GSE Expo Europe remains the place where connections become collaborations and ideas become opportunities.

Listen now and prepare for Europe’s leading gathering of the GSE community.
