NATA ANNOUNCES 2011 EVENT SCHEDULE
Alexandria, VA, December 14 2010 — The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) is pleased to announce its 2011 Events Schedule.
The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) is pleased to announce its 2011 Events Schedule.
NATA kicks off its busy 2011 events schedule with two major events in February. The 2011 FBO Leadership Conference takes place February 7-8 in Savannah, Georgia. This conference was developed for leading executives and managers of fixed base operations, and features nationally recognized experts who will provide the latest intelligence, tactics and strategies to maximize NATA member FBOs’ business success.
“The 2011 FBO Leadership Conference offers preeminent opportunities for leaders to tap into the enormous wealth of industry knowledge,” said NATA President James K. Coyne. “We are pleased to present political and industry forecasts from top leaders, a security update direct from the TSA, expert industry panels to discuss the latest developments in general aviation issues and NATA’s leading programs, various opportunities to network and much more.”
NATA and the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) will once again coordinate the FBO Leadership Conference with NBAA’s Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference, also being held in Savannah, Georgia, on February 9-11, 2011. Visit www.nata.aero/fbolc to register for NATA’s event and www.nbaa.org to register for NBAA’s conference.
The association’s third annual Spring Training Week at the Cygnus Aviation Expo (formerly the Aviation Industry Expo) takes place later in the month, on February 21-24. Spring Training Week features the first of several training seminars for the year, including the popular Line Service Supervisor Training Seminar, NATA Safety 1st Trainer Seminar and Environmental Compliance Seminar. Several additional seminars and E-learn Webinars are planned throughout the year. Among them are the Commercial Operators Tax Seminar and the FBO Success Seminar, each focusing on a new major business topic.
In early May, NATA holds its Spring Committee Meetings, Annual Meeting of Members & Election of Officers and industry awards ceremony, as well as its Day On The Hill. NATA’s annual Day On The Hill event provides an invaluable opportunity for NATA members to participate in and have an effect on the legislative process in our country. Individual meetings with representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate provide a great avenue to discuss the most important issues facing the general aviation industry today, especially those impacting business, both nationally and locally.
NATA’s Air Charter Summit is scheduled for June 6-8 at the Westfields Marriott in Dulles, VA. The Summit provides an opportunity for Part 135 on-demand charter companies to stay a step ahead of regulatory and business conditions on the horizon.
Visit the events calendar frequently at www.nata.aero for updates to the schedule.
NATA offers several sponsorship opportunities for each event and a few new sponsorship packages to help you stake out and coordinate your presence at the 2011 events. Contact Diane Gleason, NATA’s director of meetings and events at (800) 808-6282 to secure your sponsorship today!
