Meetings Start In Europe In May, End In Australia In
November
If there's one primary theme the Aircraft Electronics
Association would like its 2008 convention attendees to leave
Washington, DC with, it's that AEA is a truly international
organization, with members in 35 countries. To drive that point
home further, AEA has plans for three international meetings before
the end of 2008.
AEA will host its 22nd annual AEA Europe Meeting in May; its
annual AEA Canada Meeting in September; and its 11th annual AEA
South Pacific Meeting in November. AEA Regional Meetings also will
take place this fall in the East, Central and West regions of the
United States.
