NBAA Commitment to High-Value Programming Reflected in High Attendance at Recent
Events
NBAA's Conventions, Regional Forums, Seminars, Conferences and other events are designed to bring together people involved in all aspects of business
aviation to view the latest products, share information about industry trends and explore professional-development opportunities. NBAA's commitment
to providing high-value events for its Members has been reflected in the strong attendance and support for NBAA's Annual Meeting & Convention in
Orlando, FL, last November, the Association's Regional Forum in Boca Raton, FL, in mid January, and NBAA's 17th Annual Schedulers & Dispatchers
Conference in San Antonio, TX, last week. This issue of NBAA Exhibitor Update outlines the latest news on forthcoming NBAA events, as well as
other developments of interest to Exhibitors at NBAA events. For more information or to send comments, contact NBAA at exupdate@nbaa.org or visit the web at:
