The seminar is organised in collaboration with Turkish Airlines, a long-term partner of Haaga-Helia, which is also the main sponsor of this event.
– As Turkish Airlines, we are happy to sponsor such an inspiring and important event. We are building the future of aviation through AI and increasingly digitalised solutions. We want to open new perspectives for students and the aviation industry, says Utku Yazan, General Manager Finland, Turkish Airlines.
Valuable learning experiences
The seminar has been organised by first-year business administration students, offering valuable hands-on experience in planning and executing a large-scale event.
– It has been a rewarding experience to work on this project, despite its challenges. Organising an event of this scale has allowed me to develop my skills in a leading role. We greatly appreciate the successful collaboration with Turkish Airlines, which has played a significant role in making this event possible, says student Senja Mäkinen, Event Marketing Team Lead.
