Meet the Board The APEX Board of Directors uses this space to inform members about ongoing Board work and decisions. In addition to APEX association information in the magazine, the Board sends e-mails after each Board meeting to update the membership and to be as transparent as possible. Board information is also shared in the APEXnews Daily SmartBrief.
The Passenger Choice Awards 2014 preview is included inside this magazine, as well as the announcement of the exciting changes for the 2015 program. The Lifetime Achievement Award winners – Lee Casey of Lumexis and Mark Horton of Paramount Pictures – are also announced in this issue! As a reminder, APEX has re-launched the TV Market Conference as the APEX MultiMedia Market, with the goal to continue to host a conference that recognizes both new and traditional media platforms, including TV, movies, games, GUIs and apps. We’re excited about the change and hope that it better serves this crucial part of our industry! Look for updates to our regional conferences schedule in this issue and online at apex.aero. After our highly successful Regional Conference in Shanghai last fall and in Sydney this spring, our next conference will be this November in Hong Kong. More information will become available in the coming months.
