NBAA2008 Will Take Place from Monday, October 6 through Wednesday, October 8

This October, NBAA continues its tradition of providing the business aviation community with the world’s largest purely civil aviation trade show at the 61st Annual Meeting & Convention (NBAA2008) in Orlando, FL. NBAA2008 will take place from Monday, October 6 through Wednesday, October 8 – a departure from the usual Tuesday-to-Thursday schedule. Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) and Orlando Executive Airport (ORL) will host the highly anticipated three-day event.

Ranked eighth among U.S. trade shows, according to Tradeshow Week 200, last year’s Convention broke all records and marked 60 years of NBAA’s long-standing commitment to the business aviation community. NBAA2008 is building upon that success, and is expected to draw more than 30,000 Attendees from around the world and will feature more than 1,000 Exhibitors.

With over one million square feet of exhibit space, the spectacular north and south halls of the OCCC will accommodate NBAA2008 indoor exhibits and over 100 Information Sessions. ORL – one of the preeminent general aviation airports in the country – will providespace for the NBAA2008 Static Display, where Attendees will be able to view over 100 state-of-the-art aircraft. The airport also now has Customs services available right on the field.

“We’re ecstatic that ORL is providing Customs on-site at the airport, making it more convenient than ever for our international Attendees to fly their aircraft directly to this year’s event.” says NBAA’s Kathleen Blouin, senior vice president, conventions, seminars & forums.

As in years past, NBAA2008 will feature an Opening General Session (OGS) that includes leaders from industry and government. Featured speakers will include Civil Aviation Organization President Roberto Kobeh González and famed political couple James Carville and Mary Matalin.

Immediately following the OGS, Information Sessions will begin, offering something for business aviation professionals in every segment of the industry.
