Finally... A Little Respect For The BizAv
Folks
Tradeshow Week recently announced that the NBAA Annual
Meeting & Convention rose to the fifth position in its rankings
of largest trade shows in the United States for 2008, which serves
as a testament to the 1.2 million jobs and the $150 billion that
the business aviation industry contributes to the nation's economy;
the thousands of Attendees and Exhibitors who participate at the
annual event; and the NBAA Members themselves who help the
Convention thrive.
"Especially in these difficult economic times, companies need
the Annual Meeting & Convention to help maximize the use of
their most important assets: people and time," said NBAA Senior
Vice President, Conventions, Seminars & Forums Kathleen
Blouin.
"In this competitive environment, our Members and our Exhibitors
should take advantage of the Convention to maintain relationships
with their existing customers, and to discover new opportunities in
the marketplace."
The NBAA 62nd Annual Meeting & Convention (NBAA2009) will
provide a unique gathering place for Members to unite and address
the significant challenges facing the industry today. Attendees of
this annual event 'recognize the value that business aviation
offers the US economy and the benefits it provides to citizens'
quality of life.'
At NBAA2009, to be held from October 20 to 22 in Orlando, FL,
participants will meet face to face with colleagues, customers and
vendors from around the world - all in one place, all at one time,
providing great efficiencies and savings for their companies.
