Get Valuable Information at the NBAA Industry BACE Conference

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) 2016 Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (BACE) is just around the corner. The Nov. 1-3 event in Orlando, Florida, will offer an inclusive look at the aviation industry from the politics of aviation to what’s new in the market. The NBAA plans for 27,000 industry professionals, including “current and prospective aircraft owners, manufacturers and customers,” to attend the event along with over 1,100 exhibitors. Event highlights include two static displays that will feature over 100 aircraft and 50-plus educational sessions designed to educate and inform attendees.

One of the NBAA’s BACE goals is to inform aviation industry professionals about key influences in the industry, including information from day-two keynote speakers and political power couple James Carville and Mary Matalin. Carville and Matalin represent both sides of the political debate. Carville, former President Bill Clinton’s campaign manager, and Matalin, former President George H.W. Bush’s campaign manager, are set to discuss today’s most pressing political issues, including the presidential campaign. They are also set to share a behind-the-scenes look at politics and the changes that have taken place in the U.S. political climate over the past two decades.

Also of note is opening-day keynote speaker David McCullough, best-selling author of The Wright Brothers. McCullough is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner who has also won two National Book Awards and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. McCullough’s address, “Lessons in Leadership,” will focus on the leadership challenges the Wright Brothers faced and how they overcame those challenges.

According to the NBAA website, the BACE is the sixth-largest trade show in the United States. As a respected industry event, the product, technology, and service exhibitions are designed to inform business and purchasing decisions. Additionally, awards such as the American Spirit Award, the Meritorious Service to Aviation Award, and the John P. “Jack” Doswell Award highlight and celebrate those who have made significant contributions to the aviation industry. Both new and returning attendees can find the three-day event valuable and informative.
