A Look Back on International GSE Expo 2025
The ground support community turned out in record numbers for the International GSE Expo, held Sept. 16-18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Produced by Endeavor B2B, parent company of Ground Support Worldwide, and co-sponsored by the International Airport Equipment Manufacturers Association (IAEMA), the biennial event once again proved to be the premier gathering for the global GSE industry.
“This year’s International GSE Expo was truly outstanding – with more than 4,200 registered attendees from around the world and a record 232 exhibitors, the momentum in our industry has never been stronger,” said Jennifer Matasy, Executive Director of IAEMA. “The energy on the floor, the connections made, and the innovations on display all highlight just how vital this show is to the future of ground support equipment. IAEMA is proud to be part of such a successful and impactful event.”
Across the show floor, attendees had the chance to see the latest GSE technology firsthand, from zero-emission vehicles and next-generation deicers to advanced safety and automation solutions. For many, the expo was not only an opportunity to evaluate equipment but also to connect with suppliers, airlines, airports, and ground handlers in meaningful ways.
A highlight of the event was Ground Support Worldwide’s annual Leaders of the Year awards presentation, which recognized individuals and organizations whose contributions continue to advance innovation, safety, and service excellence across the ramp. The awards celebration provided a moment to honor the people driving the industry forward and to reinforce the strong sense of community that defines ground support worldwide.
With its record-breaking turnout, the 2025 International GSE Expo underscored both the strength and the momentum of the sector. For those who walked the aisles in Las Vegas, the show was more than just a showcase of equipment, it was a reminder of the innovation, collaboration, and dedication fueling the future of aviation ground support.
