In Chicago, Hong Kong And Seattle
The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has three
Business Aviation Regional Forums planned for this summer --
including its first international forum -- in Chicago, Hong Kong
and Seattle. NBAA's Regional Forums bring together business
aircraft owners, operators, manufacturers, customers and other
industry personnel for networking and information sharing at some
of the best airports and FBOs worldwide. All business aviation
industry personnel, potential and present, are invited to
attend.
NBAA Regional Forums are designed to meet the needs of regional
business aviation communities and to provide an introduction to
local business leaders interested in learning more about business
aviation. Because forums are hosted regionally, Exhibitors and
Attendees can meet with sales prospects and colleagues who share
concerns and ideas relative to their particular geographic
regions.
The summer 2004 Forums will be held:
- June 24 at DuPage Flight Center on DuPage Airport (DPA), with
exhibits located at T-Bird Aviation, in West Chicago (IL)
- July 15 and 16 at Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre on Hong
Kong International Airport (HKG) in China
- August 26 at Boeing Field/King County International Airport
(BFI) in Seattle (WA)
On June 24, the Chicago-area forum is expected to be the largest
one yet, with more than 70 Exhibitors, 30 aircraft on Static
Display and 1,000 Attendees. The agenda will include several
briefings of interest to the business aviation community in the
greater Chicago metropolitan area. Briefing topics include security
for business aviation operations, the importance of the
factory/service center relationship, transitioning from paper to
electronic charting, runway incursions, aircraft purchase
considerations and analyzing the corporate shuttle option. For more

On July 15 and 16 in Hong Kong, NBAA will host its ABACE forum,
which is planned as a pre-cursor to the Asian Business Aviation
Conference & Exhibition (ABACE) that will debut next year in
Shanghai, China. The ABACE Forum in Hong Kong will feature aircraft
from Gulfstream and Bombardier, indoor exhibits from Metrojet and
B/E Aerospace, and more. The purpose of this forum is to identify
issues hindering business aviation growth in China, to prioritize
those issues and to put together a plan for moving forward.
Business aviation is the vehicle that will allow Chinese companies
to conduct business globally and allow the rest of the world the
access to tap into this vast market. The event is conveniently
located on Hong Kong International Airport and the host hotel, the
Regal Airport Hotel, has offered outstanding rates. For more

On August 26, the Seattle-area forum will be held in conjunction
with an NBAA Maintenance Management Workshop and NBAA Regulatory
Issues Forum. Briefing topics will include security for business
aviation operations, getting the most from aircraft OEMs,
regulatory options for business aviation operations, mission
profiling, preventing and eliminating maintenance incidents,
transitioning from paper to electronic charting, planning domestic
flights into RVSM airspace, justifying aircraft modifications and
retrofit projects, flight department management systems and a local
group update. For full details about the Seattle-area forum,
