AOPA Aviator Showcase Moves to the Fall

To enhance the experience of pilots and aircraft owners, and build a more expansive program, AOPA has decided to move its Aviator Showcase at Fort Worth Alliance Airport to the fall.

Now set for November 17 and 18, the AOPA Aviator Showcase will return with a wide array of industry experts, manufacturers, and speakers to build on what’s sure to be the outstanding and exciting celebration attendees would expect.

This exclusive two-day event caters to those looking to buy or learn more about new products and services available within the general aviation market. Pilots and aircraft owners will have the opportunity to connect with the industry’s leading experts in avionics and cockpit technology, flight planning, weather resources, aircraft manufacturing, and more. The Aviator Showcase will feature an exhibit hall, aircraft display, and educational seminars presented by event sponsors. Attendees can also talk to aviation finance professionals, insurers, and dealers about buying the aircraft of their dreams.

“We are continuing to build on our Aviator Showcase and make this an unforgettable experience for our exhibitors, sponsors, and guests,” said AOPA Director of Outreach and Events Elizabeth O’ Connell. “We anticipate a very successful event putting qualified pilots in front of the industry’s most transformative players and we can’t wait to improve on what’s bound to be one for the books.”

Exhibitors will be offering exclusive show specials and other incentives available only to event guests. The costs to attend is $20, and tickets can be purchased online.
