2019 NBAA Regional Forums Visit Key Business Aviation Markets
/The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has announced the dates and locations for next year’s Regional Forums, with the popular events scheduled to be held in significant business aviation markets.
The 2019 Regional Forum dates and locations are:
- Wednesday, Feb. 6 - Palm Beach, FL (PBI)
- Thursday, March 14 - Houston, TX (HOU)
- Thursday, June 6 - White Plains, NY (HPN)
“NBAA Regional Forums are an effective way to get business done at the local level, and provide a venue for companies exploring the use of business aviation to learn more about our industry,” said Mike Nichols, CAM, NBAA’s vice president of operational excellence and professional development. “The fact that it’s a one-day event makes it an efficient and effective use of time.”
NBAA forums feature, on average, 150 indoor exhibitors, more than 35 aircraft on static display and attract about 2,500 attendees. Education sessions look at the latest issues impacting the industry – from market updates to tax and regulatory changes to safety programming – as well as focus on workforce development, including programming for students considering a career in business aviation.
NBAA annually holds forums in South Florida and the New York-metropolitan area, as these are the two top markets for exhibitors in business aviation. The Texas marketplace also is vital to the industry, and NBAA regularly hosts events in that state, with the upcoming Houston and White Plains forums taking place in Million Air's new hangars.
Regional Forums bring together local business aircraft owners, operators, manufacturers, customers and other business aviation professionals to share knowledge, discuss issues affecting the region and learn how business aviation can help companies succeed.
Potential buyers and operators at these forums get the opportunity to compare and examine cutting edge-business aircraft in a single location. Manufacturers and suppliers showcase their latest aviation equipment, products and services, and are available to answer questions for potential customers.
