MONTREAL 2024: Limosa to host delegation ahead of eVTOL Insights’ Montreal Conference, with Vports confirmed as latest event sponsor

There’s now just over one week to go until eVTOL Insights’ Mon­tre­al Con­fer­ence and we can con­firm eVTOL air­craft devel­op­er Limosa Inc. will be wel­com­ing del­e­gates to its offices on Wednes­day, May 1st.

This will kick off our event sched­ule, where Limosa founder and CEO Hamid Hami­di and his team will tell del­e­gates about the com­pa­ny’s roadmap to cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, its Limo­Con­nect air­craft and answer any ques­tions you might have about its role in Cana­da and the glob­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty mar­ket.

We’re also delight­ed to con­firm Vports as our lat­est event spon­sor.

Based in Mon­tre­al, the team is col­lab­o­rat­ing with Trans­port Cana­da, NAV CANADA, the Gov­ern­ment of Que­bec and munic­i­pal offi­cials on defin­ing safe­ty and secu­ri­ty reg­u­la­tions, flight cor­ri­dors, urban inte­gra­tion and com­mu­ni­ty engage­ment.

After Limosa’s tour on the 1st, our event sched­ule con­tin­ues with a pre-event drinks recep­tion tak­ing place at Le Mount Stephen Hotel. This has been kind­ly spon­sored by CAE and will take place between 5pm and 7pm.

On Thurs­day, May 2nd will be our main con­fer­ence — also tak­ing place at Le Mount Stephen — which will fea­ture pan­el dis­cus­sions, keynote pre­sen­ta­tions and fire­side chats about the glob­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty mar­ket. This will be between 9am and 5pm.

We will then have our awards cer­e­mo­ny for our very first AAM Awards from 6pm — 7.30pm. The final­ists have already been revealed and this will also take place at Le Mount Stephen.

And on Fri­day, May 3rd, we’ve got a tour booked at ICAO’s Mon­tre­al Head­quar­ters. This is sched­uled for a 10am start and will last about an hour. Once the tour has fin­ished, this con­cludes our event pro­gramme.

Tick­ets can be bought via our Eventbrite page and include Stu­dent Con­ces­sions, priced at $249.

A huge thank you to our oth­er event spon­sors Hori­zon Air­craft, TE Con­nec­tiv­i­ty, Wisk, Lil­i­um, Rolls-Royce, Viasat, Cert Cen­ter Cana­da and Blueshift.
