The most exciting companies, aircraft and big-picture thinkers will be at center stage in Las Vegas in just a few weeks to redefine what’s possible in aviation and on-demand air mobility. The National Business Aviation Association’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), taking place October 22-24 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport, is the world’s most powerful business aviation event of the year.
This year’s NBAA-BACE will feature a superb lineup of speakers, technologies, sessions and networking opportunities.
“NBAA-BACE is more than a meeting – it’s a moment, unlike any other, that allows business aviation to make the connections, share important announcements and come together to shape the future of the industry,” said Ed Bolen, NBAA’s president and CEO.
Attendees can get up close with some of the world’s most advanced, innovative and efficient aircraft.
The world’s leading companies paving the way on advanced air mobility – including Electra.aero, Joby Aviation and Lilium – will showcase their latest concepts and innovations at the show’s Emerging Tech Pavilion.
There will be keynote addresses by U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Michael Whitaker and Neil deGrasse Tyson, the award-winning and inspiring astrophysicist who is one of the most famous scientists in the world today.
Forward-looking newsmaker events will include a special session featuring U.S. Representatives Sam Graves (R-6-MO) and Rick Larsen (D-2-WA), key authors of the
five-year FAA reauthorization and aviation policy bill signed into law earlier this year. Five leading U.S. regulators from the FAA and Transportation Security Administration will also address the convention.
NBAA will award Bombardier leaders Laurent and Pierre Beaudoin with one of its highest honors – the Meritorious Service to Aviation Award – recognizing their visionary leadership at Bombardier that fostered industry growth and advanced business aviation safety and sustainability. Their leadership drove the creation of entirely new market categories for business and commercial aircraft and helped set the standard for excellence in safety and sustainability.
There will be timely discussions about the industry’s most important issues: innovation, sustainability, safety and workforce development.
For the first time, NBAA-BACE will have a special experience zone called the Flight Deck, an all-new stage featuring sessions and events open to all show-goers looking to learn from the best and make the connections they need to propel their business forward.
This year’s event will be the most sustainable yet, with exhibitors committing to reduce their environmental impact at the show and a two-day Sustainability Summit where industry leaders will discuss the most important developments driving business aviation’s ambitious efforts to make the sector greener.
NBAA will also celebrate the one-year anniversary of CLIMBING. FAST., business aviation’s advocacy initiative focused on the sector’s innovation to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
