Hitit Partner’s Event (HPE), eagerly awaited by the entire industry and especially by our Partners, was organized in 2024 to mark our 30th anniversary. HPE2024, held in some of the most iconic locations in Istanbul—one of the world’s most beautiful cities and home to our headquarters—made a remarkable impact this year with its venues, content, presentations, and distinguished guests.
HPE2024, attended by our Partners, stakeholders, and members of the press, took place from September 18–20 and hosted more than 300 participants. Featuring 15 presentations and 4 insightful panels, the event offered a packed program that explored the latest developments in aviation and travel industries. Discussions covered a comprehensive framework with key industry stakeholders such as IATA and EUROCONTROL, alongside contributions from Hitit and its valued Partners.
The special guest speaker for Hitit’s 30th-anniversary celebration was the world-renowned former FIFA referee Pierluigi Collina. Currently serving as Chairman of the FIFA Referee Committee and recognized as the most awarded referee in history, Collina shared his experiences from the football sector, translating them into valuable lessons for business life in his presentation on managing turbulence in the business world. Teamwork in adversity – tackling a challenge and turning it into opportunity.
HPE2024 was not only a platform for professional knowledge exchange but also a vibrant social and cultural event. Attendees enjoyed activities such as a welcome cocktail and a gala dinner, as well as guided tours across Istanbul’s European and Asian continents, discovering the city’s unique charm.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our Partners and stakeholders who joined us in celebrating our 30th anniversary. Looking ahead to 2026, we have already begun preparations for the next HPE, which will be hosted in another exceptional location in Türkiye. We eagerly anticipate sharing new experiences centered around aviation and friendship with you.
