For First Time in Its History, NBAA Convention Sells Out in
Advance
With Exhibitor records
already broken several weeks before opening day, the NBAA 59th
Annual Meeting & Convention (NBAA2006) promises to be a
memorable one. The exhibit floor has completely sold out for the
first time in Convention history, with close to 1,150 Exhibitors
registered and 5,233 10-foot by 10-foot booth spaces sold, an
almost 9 percent increase in booth spaces compared to the 2005
show.
This year's event also will feature 11 fixed-wing aircraft and
four helicopters at the Orange County Convention Center, the most
aircraft ever shown on the exhibit floor. The Static Display of
Aircraft likewise has sold out, with more than 115 aircraft
expected at Orlando Executive Airport.
NBAA2006 Attendees Urged to Take Advantage of NBAA Connect
This year, NBAA has introduced a new resource, NBAA Connect, to
help NBAA2006 Attendees identify and connect with the people,
products and sessions that best address their individual needs and
interests, allowing them to get the most from their Convention
experience. At the NBAA Connect Booth, located in the South
Concourse of the Convention Center, Attendees will be able to print
personalized schedules and floor plans to help them optimize their
time at NBAA2006.
ANN Daily Coverage Already Underway
ANN will, of course, be covering the event DAILY... with a
number of advance features already in the works. ANN's Special
event Coverage of the 2006 NBAA Convention is being sponsored by
the kind folks of Cirrus Design, Diamond
Aircraft, and Piper
Aircraft.
