eVTOL Insights’ London conference is fast approaching — two weeks left to buy your tickets!

There’s just two weeks until eVTOL Insights returns to Lon­don for its next indus­try con­fer­ence, where some of the biggest thought lead­ers, influ­encers and inno­va­tors in the glob­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty mar­ket will once again be in atten­dance.

The event at the Leonar­do Roy­al Tow­er Bridge Hotel — just a 15-minute walk from the icon­ic Tow­er of Lon­don, will start with an pre-event drinks recep­tion in the hotel on the evening of April 18th, so both speak­ers and atten­dees can make the most of the excel­lent net­work­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties.

The speak­er pro­gramme, which will con­sist of keynote pre­sen­ta­tions, pan­el dis­cus­sions and live Q&As — is on April 19th and begins with a fire­side chat with Stephen Fitz­patrick, founder and CEO of Ver­ti­cal Aero­space. It will fin­ish with a pan­el dis­cus­sion on eVTOL cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, fea­tur­ing Lirio Liu, Exec­u­tive Direc­tor, Air­craft Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, Fed­er­al Avi­a­tion Admin­is­tra­tion, Kirsten Riense­ma, Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Chal­lenge Lead at the UK CAA, and Trevor Woods, Direc­tor of Reg­u­la­to­ry Affairs, Ver­ti­cal Aero­space.

Among the top­ics dis­cussed on the day include bat­tery devel­op­ment, eVTOL OEM progress, cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, land­ing infra­struc­ture, the role of towns cities when imple­ment­ing manned and unmanned avi­a­tion and cre­at­ing the best pas­sen­ger expe­ri­ence when com­mer­cial oper­a­tions launch in the near future.

Tick­ets cost £399, which includes entry to the pre-event drinks recep­tion and the con­fer­ence, and are avail­able to buy from our Eventbrite page. Stu­dents can also attend our con­fer­ence, with tick­ets cost­ing £199. They would also need to pro­vide stu­dent ID on arrival.
