Indus­try lead­ers BETA and Joby will share more updates on their roadmap, while NATA will mod­er­ate a fas­ci­nat­ing pan­el dis­cus­sion with some of their mem­bers on how to safe­ly scale Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty. This will be mod­er­at­ed by NATA COO Hec­tor Hue­zo.

Addi­tion­al­ly, Piv­otal CEO Ken Karklin will join Toni Drum­mond, Pres­i­dent and Co-Founder of Future Flight Glob­al for a pan­el dis­cus­sion enti­tled ‘Indus­try Readi­ness: How Soon Are We To Com­mer­cial­i­sa­tion’.

They join speak­ers from Volo­copter, Eve Air Mobil­i­ty, Wisk, Evoli­to, Moya Aero, Sky­Grid, ANRA Tech­nolo­gies, AeroX, Ser­aph, Ver­ti­port Chica­go, Eagle­Nav Sky Vision, Hartzell Pro­peller, NAAMCE, EHAng, SMG Con­sult­ing and Office of Ohio Gov­er­nor Mike DeWine

eVTOL Insights’ North Amer­i­ca Con­fer­ence & Awards will take place from Wednes­day, April 29th to Fri­day, May 1st, and promis­es to be a must-attend for pro­fes­sion­als across the glob­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty mar­ket.

It will fol­low pre­vi­ous eVTOL Insights con­fer­ences in North Amer­i­ca, which include New York (2022), Mon­tre­al (2024) and Palo Alto (2025).

The 2026 con­fer­ence will kick off on Wednes­day, April 29th with a pri­vate, two-hour site vis­it of NAAMCE, giv­ing del­e­gates unprece­dent­ed access to its state-of-the-art facil­i­ties, allow­ing them to learn direct­ly from the pio­neer­ing busi­ness­es and research teams work­ing on the future of eVTOL tech­nol­o­gy and asso­ci­at­ed advanced air mobil­i­ty sys­tems.

Del­e­gates will also have the chance to expe­ri­ence select air­craft sim­u­la­tors, gain­ing hands-on insight into the next gen­er­a­tion of air­craft design, oper­a­tions, and train­ing tools.

Fol­low­ing the facil­i­ty tour, guests are invit­ed to a pre-event drinks recep­tion, pro­vid­ing a relaxed net­work­ing envi­ron­ment ahead of the conference’s main pro­gram­ming. The recep­tion will offer atten­dees the oppor­tu­ni­ty to con­nect with peers, indus­try experts, and con­fer­ence speak­ers in an infor­mal set­ting.

The main con­fer­ence day will be held on Thurs­day, April 30th, fea­tur­ing keynotes, pan­els, and keynote pre­sen­ta­tions from indus­try lead­ers, inno­va­tors and pol­i­cy­mak­ers.

After the con­fer­ence fin­ish­es, the 2026 Glob­al AAM Awards will take place and recog­nise more indi­vid­u­als and com­pa­nies work­ing with­in the glob­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty mar­ket.

The event will con­clude with a sec­ond indus­try tour on Fri­day, May 1st, pro­vid­ing fur­ther insight into the infra­struc­ture and oper­a­tions shap­ing the future of air mobil­i­ty.

Tick­ets are cur­rent­ly on sale for $950 and you can buy yours here. Stu­dent con­ces­sions are also avail­able and can be pur­chased for $200.
