This year’s NBAA Maintenance Management Conference is set for April 30 through May 2 at the Fort Worth Convention Center, Fort Worth, Texas. MMC2013 is the industry’s dedicated venue for people responsible for managing maintenance in the flight department.

In addition to a high-quality education program with industry experts and three days of exchanging best practices, MMC2013 will feature an exhibit hall with more than 100 companies displaying their products and services. On May 3, the conference is offering an optional PDP course: Technical Operations Manual Workshop.

Leonard Beauchemin, past chair of the NBAA Maintenance Committee, told AIN, “I think of the NBAA Maintenance Management Conference as the ultimate ambient intelligence experience in the area of business aircraft asset management. You are surrounded by aircraft maintenance industry leaders, leading technology manufacturers and experienced MROs. This is an environment where learning and networking is naturally absorbed by the decision makers in business aircraft maintenance.” Beauchemin recommends the conference for anyone who has responsibility for aircraft maintenance, including directors of maintenance, flight department managers, maintenance technicians, aircraft owners/operators and chief pilots.

Seminar topics include both technical and career development subjects. Registration fee for NBAA members is $995 ($1,295 non-members).
