Just over one week until eVTOL Insights’ free virtual networking event with Avtrain and Solvay

There’s just over one week until eVTOL Insights’ next vir­tu­al net­work­ing event for the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty mar­ket, which will fea­ture guest speak­ers from Avtrain and Solvay.

Tak­ing place on Fri­day, Sep­tem­ber 30th from 4pm‑5.30pm BST, the free-to-attend event con­sists of two 30-minute net­work­ing ses­sions and then two 15-minute pre­sen­ta­tions from Julie Gar­land, founder and CEO of Avtrain, and Sam Hill, AAM Mar­ket­ing and Busi­ness Devel­op­ment Man­ag­er at Solvay.

Tak­ing place on the final Fri­day of each busi­ness quar­ter, these ses­sions are a great way for indus­try pro­fes­sion­als to net­work and con­nect with each oth­er, wher­ev­er they are in the world. Pre­vi­ous events have wel­comed pre­sen­ta­tions from Flight Crowd, Varon Vehi­cles, the Cana­di­an Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Con­sor­tium (CAAM), US Air Force, Orca Aero­space, UAVOS, P3 Tech Con­sult­ing, SMG Con­sult­ing, Rolls-Royce and Air­borne.

Avtrain’s mis­sion is to encour­age pro­lif­ic drone oper­a­tions and keep the skies safe through cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and the high­est stan­dards of train­ing. It hold an approval as Recog­nised Enti­ty issued by the Irish Avi­a­tion Author­i­ty for the grant of EASA Open A2 and all Spe­cif­ic Cat­e­go­ry Autho­ri­sa­tions, Dec­la­ra­tions & Light UAS oper­a­tor Cer­tifi­cate (LUC).

Julie is a for­mer air­line train­ing cap­tain, air­craft main­te­nance engi­neer, bar­ris­ter at law, Fel­low of the Char­tered Insti­tute of Arbi­tra­tors, and pri­or to under­tak­ing her posi­tion as CEO of Avtrain, she was the Direc­tor Com­pli­ance for Nor­we­gian Air Inter­na­tion­al. She is the Chair of the Unmanned Air­craft Asso­ci­a­tion of Ire­land and sits on the Board of Direc­tors of JEDA — Joint Euro­pean Drone Asso­ci­a­tions as the Irish rep­re­sen­ta­tive.

While Solvay has a broad port­fo­lio of aero­space solu­tions, includ­ing ther­moset and ther­mo­plas­tic com­pos­ites, spe­cial­i­ty poly­mers, struc­tur­al adhe­sives and func­tion­al films. The com­pa­ny says this is what makes it an ide­al mate­r­i­al sup­pli­er for urban air mobil­i­ty and advanced air mobil­i­ty cus­tomers. Its solu­tions include blades, inte­ri­ors, small deliv­ery drones and struc­tures

And one of those cus­tomers is Ver­ti­cal Aero­space, which Solvay will sup­port by sup­ply­ing com­pos­ite and adhe­sive tech­nolo­gies for its eVTOL air­craft.

Sam has more than 18 years of tech­ni­cal expe­ri­ence in the high per­for­mance com­pos­ite mar­ket, serv­ing a diverse and glob­al cus­tomer base in Large Com­mer­cial Trans­port, Rotor­craft, Defence and Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty sec­tors.
