North Texas Business Aviation Association Safety Show-Down Set for September 18-19, 2019

The North Texas Business Aviation Association (NTBAA) has announced the 7th annual Safety Show-Down event, will be held September 18-19, 2019 at the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas. This year’s event will bring together inspirational keynote speakers and business aviation industry leaders to share best safety practices, learn about new products, improve skills, and network for two days.

The NTBAA safety event theme for 2019 is “Focus – Strategies for Safety and Success” and includes numerous presentations and networking for all business aviation professionals, including Flight Attendants, Pilots, Technicians, Schedulers, and Fixed Based Operators.  In addition to motivating general sessions, there will be several breakout sessions packed full of valuable presentations from business aviation industry experts.

“We are excited about this year’s NTBAA Safety Show-Down,” commented Cat Wren, NTBAA Co-Chair. “This year we have moved to a larger convention venue because we simply outgrew the previous location. The Las Colinas Convention Center in Las Colinas is centrally located and is convenient from anywhere in the DFW area.  Not only does this new space provide more room for our valued sponsors to showcase their companies, it also gives us more room to expand our sessions and offer more space for networking. We look forward to hosting the North Texas business aviation community for this 7th annual event!”   

Attendees participating in the 2-day event will also have an opportunity to learn more about various business aviation products and services with a roomful of NTBAA Show-Down sponsors with exhibits.  The program will begin on September 18th at the Irving Convention Center with a lunch and check-in beginning at 11:00 AM. The first day will be topped off with an evening networking reception of fun, food and drinks. Day two is a full day of informative presentations that begins on Thursday September 19th at 7:00 AM for check-in and breakfast, and will include lunch and plenty of raffle prizes.

Registration details for the 7th Annual NTBAA Safety Show-Down event are available at www.ntbaaonline.com and space is limited, so attendees are encouraged to pre-register to guarantee attendance.
