Why The Show Was A Must-Attend

WHETHER YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO FLIES THE PLANE, HELPS run the flight operations or just holds a passion or interest for aviation, the annual National Business Aviation Association (NBAA)’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAABACE) was one event that had something in store for everyone. Held this year at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport from October 22 to October 24, 2019, NBAA-BACE is regarded among the biggest business aviation convention in the world, the sheer size and magnitude of which in itself are sufficient to dazzle a visitor.

The 2019 NBAA-BACE was a perfect place to fire the imagination of the attendees and let them have a look at the cutting-edge products, issues, and trends that will shape the future of business aviation. As Chris Strong, NBAA’s senior vice president for conventions and membership remarked that everyone attending the show would have found something they’ve never seen before.

As the civic and business leaders bid adieu to the world’s largest business aviation trade show in Las Vegas, here we pen down some reasons why NBAA-BACE 2019 was a must-attend event:

CHANCE TO CONNECT
