EBACE Keynoters To Mix Racing, Bizav, and Sustainability

Toto Wolff, team principal, CEO, and co-owner of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, and F1 Academy managing director Susie Wolff will kick off EBACE 2023 on May 23 as keynote speakers, show organizers NBAA and EBAA announced today. The duo was chosen for their efforts on operating sustainably on and off the track—the F1 team aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2030 and it also became the first global sports team to invest in sustainable aviation fuel.

“Toto and Susie Wolff are leaders in many fields, and pioneers in shaping a more diverse, equitable, and sustainable future in motorsport and beyond,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “We are thrilled they will join us at EBACE 2023 and look forward to hearing their perspectives on these and other issues of shared importance to both racing and aviation.”

The keynote session with the Wolffs will kick off the show week, including a two-day Sustainability Summit highlighting business aviation’s efforts to reach net-zero emissions goals outlined in the Business Aviation Commitment on Climate Change, which the industry rolled out in 2009. This summit will feature leaders in next-generation propulsion systems, advanced air mobility, carbon-reduction advances, and other sustainability initiatives.
