NATA is participating with FBO management software provider X-1 on the launch of an FBO-centric conference. To be held in Miami from April 10 to 13, the event will feature a wide range of topics such as technological advances, operational best practices, safety, training, and marketing—all of which can impact a service provider’s profit margin.
Among the speakers slated for the two days of workshops are Steve Berry, NATA’s managing director of safety and training, and industry expert Joe McDermott, a senior consultant at Global FBO Consult who will join the “State of Safety” panel.
The conference will be held at the X-1FBO Software offices on Biscayne Bay, the site of the former Burger King headquarters, which features hiking trails and abundant wildlife, including several American crocodiles. “Our guests are in for a real Florida experience,” said X-1FBO CEO and co-founder Jim Wiley. “Aviation experts and crocs, how unique is that?”
Early-bird ticket pricing will be available through the end of February and in addition to admission to the conference, each ticket will include breakfast, lunch, and daily after-hour social events.
