Exhibit Hall Will Be Open For End-User Customers On The Closing Day Of The Show
In response to the many requests submitted to and received by the Aircraft Electronics Association over the years from the dealer network and manufacturers to allow end-users/customers into the AEA Convention Exhibit Hall, the AEA board of directors has approved a trial run of allowing dealers’ customers the opportunity to visit the exhibit hall on the last day of exhibits – Saturday, March 15. This will be allowed under very strict guidelines at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, TN.
As aviators know, it can be very helpful to have the manufacturer work with the dealer in closing the sale on a new installation.
To adequately prepare for these customer attendees, the following guidelines MUST be followed:
- Each customer MUST be invited by and accompanied throughout the exhibit hall by a registered repair station representative. They will not be allowed to visit the exhibit hall on their own.
- Manufacturers may only invite a customer attendee through the AEA dealer network.
- Attendance can ONLY be on Saturday, March 15, when the exhibit hall is open from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CDT.
- All customers must be registered either in advance or on site. The registration fee is $50 per customer, which includes both the exhibit hall and the Saturday morning general session on the topic of ADS-B and NextGen, scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. CDT.
Please note that the customer attendees will not be allowed into any of the technical training workshops on Saturday. Those are designed exclusively for the repair station attendees. These customers will be easily recognized with different color badge inserts and lanyards.
GA pilots and aircraft owners can contact their AEA-member repair shop to learn more.
