ARG Brings Happy Hour to NBAA Regional Forums

Aircraft Researchers Group (ARG)—a community for business aircraft market researchers, analysts, brokers, operators, and related professionals—is set to hold its first happy hour networking event in conjunction with an NBAA regional forum. It has previously held these in-person gatherings only during NBAA-BACE but is now expanding them to coincide with NBAA’s regional forums in Miami–Opa Locka next week and in White Plains, New York, in mid-May. (ARG is an AIN Media Group subsidiary.)

Membership in ARG is free, as are its happy hour events, web-based coffee talks, online group, and newsletters, thanks to industry sponsors. While ARG’s happy hour allows for networking in a casual environment, its frequent coffee talks and WhatsApp group bring members together to discuss current aircraft market trends, research techniques, and analyst insights, among others.

The group’s mission is “to support and elevate aircraft market researchers by providing unbiased education, data-driven discussion, and meaningful professional connection across the business aviation ecosystem.” ARG chair Mackenzie Messier added, “Aircraft market researchers needed a space that was truly their own. ARG was built to fill that gap by prioritizing honest conversation, peer learning, and independence.”
