FS Conference Celebrates Its 20th Anniversary With 500 Visitors

Visitors listened to specialist presentations and visited the stands of 18 exhibitors from nine countries. Alongside well-known names in flight simulation such as Honeycomb Aeronautical, SayIntentions.AI, FS Elite, HomeSim and PILOT'S, community clubs such as IVAO, the Flight Simulator Club and virtual airline AirWürttemberg were also in attendance. As every year, the Captain's Dinner was the crowning finale. Over 70 participants rounded off the day in relaxed fashion at the nearby Airport Forum, enjoying food and drinks and engaging in stimulating conversation and expert discussion.

Winfried Diekmann, CEO of Aerosoft, reflected positively on the anniversary event: "The FS Conference 2025 has once again demonstrated the appeal of flight simulation as a hobby, as well as its deep roots in this region. We are delighted with the fantastic response from visitors, exhibitors and partners. It is impressive to see how our event, now in its 20th year, continues to attract people from all over Germany and beyond to Paderborn. The terminal at Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport provides the perfect setting for it every year. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Paderborn Airport once again for its tremendous support."

The conference also generated considerable interest in the airport tours, all of which were fully booked. Fans and enthusiasts of flight simulation can look forward to another fantastic event at Paderborn Airport in November next year.

The FS Conference is based on the successful "Flugsimulator Konferenz". Last year, the event continued under its new name. The 2024 instalment welcomed over 400 visitors, who were able to test new products from over 20 exhibitors spanning seven countries.
