We celebrate another incredible Lift & Escalator Symposium (LES) in this edition: 130 delegates from 10 countries, 19 fascinating speakers, 6 exhibitors, 5 panel members tackling standards and 1 inspiring keynote address. Everything is covered in the October edition of LIN with many pictures! 

The winner of the Dr Gina Barney Emerging Excellence Award for Vertical Transportation 2026 was Terry Fung from Foster + Partners, and we feature his great paper on Designing Vertical Transportation for Modern Airports: Performance, Capacity, and Passenger‐Centric Planning. A topic many can relate to from our own airport VT experiences!

Ted is spending time in his dog bed (just for one issue!) as his good friend Petra, the trainer for the Mental Health Charter, writes about her own experiences and gives great advice.

We talk to WeMaintain and to Mitsubishi about their growth plans, and Micky Grover White from LEIA picks his favourite lift in the Elevator Pitch -  he has seen a few, what will he choose?

And that’s not all, it’s another edition busting at the seams, don’t miss it!
