ASDO IS AIRPORT MATCHMAKER
The Queens Air Services
Development Office (ASDO)
held its annual 37th Aviation
Networking Event in
early June. Hundreds of current
and new individuals attended
and chatted with airport
companies and airport
redevelopment agencies with
the hopes of growing their
businesses. Program Manager
Dolores Hofman was excited
to say that every years
many new companies succeed
in achieving this goal
from this yearly event. Affectionately
called the Airport
Matchmaker, Hofman
calls this a “reverse” trade
show, where buyers and major
contractors staff tables,
while vendors and service
suppliers visit each company
to introduce their services.
They make matches between
buyers and sellers. AS DO
serves the industry at John
F. Kennedy and LaGuardia
airports and over 1,600local
vendors. ASDO people can be
found at all the major events
with the mission to connect
as many new people with
good products and services
to the growing airport community.
