UBM Aviation Launches New Airport Financing and Management Event

MANCHESTER, England, October 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

UBM Aviation has announced the first Invest & Manage event for the 8th and 9th December this year. The event will take place in London at the Chelsea Football Club's Stamford Bridge complex.

Invest & Manage, based on the hugely successful Routes event model, brings together the airport owners, management companies and investor communities for a series of pre-booked 1:1 meetings. Essential for considering airport infrastructure funding and management options, Invest & Manage is a must attend event for Airport / Airport Operator chief executive and chief financial officers and Investment Banks' airport teams.

"The Invest & Manage event has been developed hand-in-hand with our Routes airport customers who have been clamouring for such an event, where multiple airports, operators and fund managers can have the opportunity to sit down together in one place and address how airports can best be managed," stated David Stroud, EVP Routes & Airports UBM Aviation. "Key attractions of the London event, the home of the world financial community, are the fantastic facilities provided by the Chelsea FC complex, and that all of the delegates' pre-booked meetings will be held privately, behind closed doors in the Executive boxes overlooking the football pitch," Stroud added.

To honour the occasion and location, the Invest & Manage team have secured thirty (30) tickets for the UEFA Champions League Chelsea versus Valencia game (6th December Stamford Bridge, London). The tickets will be given away on a first come, first serve basis to delegates registering for the event http://www.investandmanage.com.
