The con­fer­ence brings togeth­er inno­va­tors, oper­a­tors, pol­i­cy­mak­ers, investors and ecosys­tem part­ners dri­ving the future of eVTOL air­craft and asso­ci­at­ed tech­nolo­gies.

A Deep Dive into the Future of Flight

The event kicks off on Wednes­day, April 29th with an exclu­sive indus­try tour of the NAAMCE facil­i­ty, a cutting‑edge R&D hub ded­i­cat­ed to AAM and next‑generation flight tech­nolo­gies, fol­lowed by a relaxed evening pre‑event net­work­ing recep­tion.

Del­e­gates can expect insights from lead­ing voic­es across the glob­al ecosys­tem.
