NBAA’s Young Professionals Program to Celebrate 10th Anniversary at NBAA-BACE

To commemorate its milestone anniversary, the  National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Young Professionals (YoPro) Council will feature a number of engaging networking opportunities and education sessions at the 2024 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE).

“These events are produced by YoPros, but are not age-based and not just for YoPros. We welcome industry professionals of all ages, from seasoned pros to those new to the industry,” said Gary Webb, YoPro Council member and strategic partnerships coordinator at Nimbl. “We encourage individuals of all experience levels to attend these events, giving those new to the industry an opportunity to network with and share ideas with more seasoned veterans in the industry.”

Long a highlight of NBAA-BACE, the YoPro Networking Reception and Helpy Hour will be held Tuesday, Oct. 22 from 5-7 p.m. on the Paradise Bridge between North and West Halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. This year’s Helpy Hour partners with Project 150, which provides free support and services to homeless, displaced and disadvantaged high school students so they can remain in school, graduate and build bright futures.

“This event, during which attendees will put together backpacks and school supply kits, allows all attendees to network while giving back to the community, making it a ‘can’t-miss’ event for business aviation professionals of all ages,” said Ashley Granada, NBAA’s senior marketing manager and co-staff liaison to the YoPro Council.

During the convention, YoPro-produced and focused education sessions will tackle work/life balance, finding a career with purpose, unlocking your potential and attracting and retaining the next generation of young professionals in business aviation. View the full list of NBAA-BACE education sessions.

Young professionals looking for new career opportunities may attend the NBAA Career Fair, taking place Oct. 23 and 24 at the convention center. The event is open at no cost to all registered attendees. Learn more about the Career Fair.
