eVTOL Insights’ Montreal Conference & Awards 2024

May 1, 2024 until May 3, 2024, Le Mount Stephen, 1440 Drummond St

eVTOL Insights is head­ing to Cana­da in 2024 and host­ing its next indus­try con­fer­ence in Mon­tre­al.

Our first Cana­di­an event will kick off on Wednes­day, May 1st, with an after­noon tour to Mon­tre­al start­up Limosa. This will be from 3pm to 4.30pm and we will have a pre-event net­work­ing drinks recep­tion from 5pm ‑7pm at Le Mount Stephen Hotel in down­town Mon­tre­al. This has been kind­ly spon­sored by CAE.

Our con­fer­ence then takes place the next day, Thurs­day, May 2nd from 9am — 5pm at Le Mount Stephen in down­town Mon­tre­al. The agen­da will fea­ture live Q&As, fire­side chats, inter­views and audi­ence par­tic­i­pa­tion about a host of indus­try top­ics.

The con­fer­ence will be fol­lowed by an evening net­work­ing drinks recep­tion and the glob­al eVTOL Insights Awards.

Then on Fri­day, May 3rd, we will be organ­is­ing a tour to ICAO’s Mon­tre­al head­quar­ters. This will start at 10am and last about an hour.

Tick­ets to our event are now on sale and priced at $999. This includes entry to the two tours, day con­fer­ence and awards cer­e­mo­ny in the evening. Stu­dents can attend our event for $249.

For del­e­gates only want­i­ng to attend the awards, the price for a tick­et is $200. This won’t include entry to the con­fer­ence and two tours.

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

Mon­tre­al fol­lows on from our 2023 con­fer­ence pro­gramme, which includ­ed Lon­don in April and Sin­ga­pore in July.

Blueshift

Blueshift is a tech­nol­o­gy leader in ther­mal pro­tec­tion sys­tems (TPS) for the Aero­space Indus­try. The company’s pro­pri­etary port­fo­lio includes AeroZe­ro® TPS, which pro­tects crit­i­cal light­weight struc­tures and com­po­nents in air and space vehi­cles from tran­sient flame and ther­mal events with tem­per­a­tures rang­ing from minus 200 °C to over 2,000 °C.

TE Connectivity

With deep expe­ri­ence in the auto­mo­tive, aero­space, and ener­gy sec­tors, TE Con­nec­tiv­i­ty works with indus­try stan­dards groups – like the Soci­ety of Auto­mo­tive Engi­neers (SAE) and ARINC – to address tomorrow’s press­ing chal­lenges. From pow­er dis­tri­b­u­tion to in-flight enter­tain­ment and cab­in fea­tures, TE experts are direct­ly involved in help­ing design­ers “fol­low the wire” to select the appro­pri­ate advanced and urban air mobil­i­ty solu­tions to light­en the load, save space, and boost per­for­mance of EVTOL sys­tems.
