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.
