Halldale Group is a B2B events and media company serving the global training and simulation community, primarily in the airline and defence sectors and more broadly in safety-critical industries. Founded in 1998, it delivers content through live and virtual events, e-newsletters, discussion platforms, working groups, awards programmes and dedicated websites, with offices in London and Orlando and a worldwide network of subject-matter experts.
