More than 150 representatives from small and local businesses attended a recent outreach and networking event hosted by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The gathering provided an opportunity for attendees to engage with LAWA staff, concessionaires, airport partners, and industry leaders to explore business prospects at one of the world's busiest airports.

Speakers at the event included notable figures such as Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners President Karim Webb, LAWA Chief Executive Officer John Ackerman, Deputy Executive Director Dave Jones, and other LAWA staff. They presented an overview of available concession opportunities and emphasized the department's dedication to fostering a diverse pool of local and small businesses.

In preparation for the upcoming 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles, LAWA anticipates offering over $100 million in concessions contracts. Additionally, more than $125 million will be allocated for constructing concession spaces, potentially creating around 450 jobs. These opportunities aim to support new developments at LAX facilities like Terminal 4, the West Gates at Tom Bradley International Terminal, among others.
