NBAA is gearing up for business aviation’s biggest showcase, its annual convention and exhibition, which will take place from October 14 to 16 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and at Henderson Airport (KHND).
The event will launch with a keynote address from country music star and private pilot Dierks Bentley, who will describe how his recording career has been intertwined with his passion for aviation.
NBAA expects hundreds of companies to appear in the exhibit hall and to share their latest announcements. At the show floor Flight Deck stage, the organization will offer an expanded slate of panel discussions on key industry topics, led by experts in their fields.
In the Aircraft Connection static display at KHND, showgoers can view a wide range of the latest business aircraft from leading manufacturers, including Gulfstream, Bombardier, Textron Aviation, Honda Aircraft, Cirrus, Pilatus, and others.
The new centerpiece of the static display will be the Tribute to Flight Pavilion, featuring everything from vintage warbirds and composite aerobatic aircraft to all-electric air mobility technology. The show’s opening day will conclude at KHND at 5:30 p.m. with a networking reception highlighted by a toast led by NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen, honoring the Golden Age of Aviation and the dawn of a new era in flight.
“Get ready for a thrilling opening day at this year’s NBAA-BACE, from the moment the lights go up on the keynote stage, to the singular experiences in the exhibit hall and at the airport, to the capstone event that will gather the industry’s leaders and legends for an inspiring sunset celebration of all that is unique and special about business aviation,” said Bolen.
