TEN WEEKS UNTIL OHIO! Volocopter, Eve Air Mobility, Wisk and Moya Aero confirmed to speak

With ten weeks to go until eVTOL Insights’ North Amer­i­ca Con­fer­ence & Awards, eVTOL Insights can con­firm more com­pa­nies which will be attend­ing and par­tic­i­pat­ing at the event.

eVTOL OEMs Volo­copter, Eve Air Mobil­i­ty and Wisk will be shar­ing their lat­est updates, espe­cial­ly when it comes to flight test­ing, while Brazil­ian start­up Moya Aero will pro­vide addi­tion­al insights about their test pro­gramme and the work they are doing for unmanned avi­a­tion.

These com­pa­nies join Joseph Zeis, from the Office of Ohio Gov­er­nor Mike DeWine, SMG Con­sult­ing, EHang, Ser­aph, Evoli­to, NAAMCE, Ver­ti­port Chica­go, Eagle­Nav SkyVi­sion, Hartzell Pro­peller, Sky­Grid, ANRA Tech­nolo­gies and AeroX. More com­pa­nies will be announced in the com­ing weeks.

eVTOL Insights’ North Amer­i­ca Con­fer­ence & Awards will take place at the Nation­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Cen­ter of Excel­lence (NAAMCE) near Spring­field, Ohio.

The three-day event is from Wednes­day, April 29 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.
