Booths Already Sold Out
The Aircraft
Electronics Association's 47th Annual International Convention and
Trade Show is just a few weeks ago and selling like hot cakes. With
over 220 booth spaces filled and registrations reaching close to
1,300, the show is expected to be the biggest turn-out ever.
Hundreds of manufacturers of avionics, instruments, airframe and
test equipment along with shop owners, managers and technicians
will be coming to the 2004 convention, which will be held March
29th through April 1st at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel. Best of all,
as the Official DAILY News Service for the event, ANN will provide
extensive coverage in addition to exhibiting on the convention
floor. Stop by booth#333 and say hello!
The Convention and Trade Show is dedicated to providing those in
the avionics industry with the chance to participate, network and
extract valuable information to boost their business. There will be
hundreds of ideas presented at informative sessions-offering more
than 25 hours of learning opportunities in just three days.
Some of the features will include:
Fast-Trak Seminars will be offered the opening
day of convention. These seminars, taking place on Monday, March
29, will offer a choice of two eight-hour or four four-hour
in-depth workshops in the morning and four four-hour workshops in
the afternoon.
Regulatory Panels are always some of the most
intense sessions on the program, as FAA, Transport Canada, EASA and
other regulatory agencies are invited to discuss the latest
regulations. These sessions will include an overview of recent
regulatory and legislative activity in Washington; regulations and
policies affecting maintenance facilities, air carriers and
personnel; and overview of the FAA's new FITS program; RVSM
maintenance; a question and answer session with FAA officials; and
more.
Technical Workshops on new equipment
installations, troubleshooting, service and repair, and sales
techniques will be offered by 20 manufacturers and distributors
throughout the convention.
New Product Introductions with a
record-breaking number of new products being introduced: 30-allow
manufacturers to showcase their latest and greatest equipment.
Attendees will get an up-close look at what their customers will be
asking for in the future.
Convention-goers should
be prepared to enjoy a spectacular night of fun and excitement at
the First Nighter Party on Monday, March 29. AEA will take ticket
holders to the Blue Man Group performance-a show that revolve
around percussion, lights, the creation of art, comedy and a high
degree of interactivity with the audience. And at the center of it
all are the three seemingly identical Blue Men painted bright
blue.
The AEA Educational Foundation's Silent Auction is also off to a
great start. There will be a variety of items to bid on-some
aviation-related and some not. The auction will benefit the
Educational Foundation, which provides over $100,000 in
scholarships each year.
The Desert Pines Golf Club will be the setting for the Lowell
Gaylor Memorial Golf Tournament on Sunday, March 28. The course is
often referred to as "The Pinehurst" of Las Vegas. Thousands of
mature pine trees line the fairways; white sand bunkers protect
large, undulating greens with water coming into play on 9 out of 18
holes.
