For the fourth consecutive year, Cessna Aircraft Company will be the title sponsor of the Great Lakes Aviation Conference. The event runs February 2-3 in Novi, MI.

Cessna Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jack J. Pelton will be keynote speaker at the conference, where he will talk about the new generation entry level business jets. Cessna aircraft dealers and Cessna Pilot Center flight school representatives will also be in attendance, along with more than 150 other exhibitors.

The 2007 event is the seventh annual Great Lakes Aviation Conference, which features prominent general session speakers, safety and informational seminars, an IA (Inspection Authorization) renewal for maintenance technicians and an extensive aviation trade show.

Central to this year's event will be an Aviation Jobs and Career Fair. With the help of the Michigan Institute of Aviation and Technology (MIAT), the GLIAC will feature many aviation employers who are potentially hiring pilots, maintenance technicians, and other fields within the aviation industry.

More than 1,500 pilots, mechanics, airport managers, students and aviation enthusiasts participate in the conference.
