NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention Rises in the Ranks of Largest U.S.
Trade Shows
The NBAA 2005 Annual Meeting & Convention has risen to 37th place in the ranking of largest U.S. trade shows based on square footage occupied by
exhibits, according to Tradeshow Week 200. The 2004 Annual Meeting & Convention was in 39th place. The Tradeshow Week 200 ranking
does not include the approximately 500,000 square feet of space used by the NBAA Static Display of Aircraft that is held in conjunction with the
Convention. If the Static Display's outdoor space were included in determining the ranking, the NBAA Convention would rank in the top 10 largest
shows in the United States. The 2006 Annual Meeting & Convention will be held from October 17 to 19, 2006, in Orlando, FL. For more information,

NBAA and ABAG Reschedule LABACE2006: Combination of
Factors Force Deferment of this Year's Event
NBAA and the Associação Brasileira de Aviação Geral (ABAG) today announced that a combination of factors, including
significant issues related to an accelerated construction project at Congonhas Airport, has forced the associations to reschedule this year's Latin
American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (LABACE2006). The event, which is organized jointly by NBAA and ABAG, was scheduled to take
place August 10 through 12, 2006, at Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. "We regret having to make this move, but NBAA and ABAG are
convinced that the decision to reschedule this year's event is in the best interest of our Members, Exhibitors, Attendees and future LABACE events.
We hope to be able to announce new dates for the show in the near future," said Bolen. For more information, visit:
