"In addition to providing our Members a premier opportunity to spend time with their local and regional business aviation customers, these events provide an opportunity to educate and inform community leaders about the value of business aviation to the local and national economy," said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. "It's clear that in a host of ways, NBAA's Regional Forums are very important in promoting the variety, vitality and value of the industry."

Katrina Bradshaw, NBAA Vice President of Sales, Regional Forums, & Static Displays, likened the gatherings to the association's annual Convention, "only in miniature," pointing to the day-long learning and networking opportunities, including educational sessions and product exhibits. Each forum also includes a static display, featuring approximately 20 business aircraft of varying types and sizes.
