The event will once again be held online and in person in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on July 22\u201323, 2023 \u2014 the weekend prior to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EAS is the world\u2019s longest-running electric aviation\ntechnology meeting. It\u2019s organized by industry and government leaders who are\npart of the advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem to provide updates to the\ncommunity and the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special feature this year is a panel organized to support\nthe US government\u2019s AAM Interagency Working Group. This session features the\nHonorable Annie Petsonk, Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International\nAffairs, US Department of Transportation (DOT); Peter Irvine, Deputy Director,\nOffice of Aviation Analysis and Executive Lead for Aviation Policy, DOT; Dr.\nParimal \u201cPK\u201d Kopardekar, NASA Advanced Research Institute (NARI) Director,\nNational Aeronautics &amp; Space Administration (NASA); and Darshan \u201cDash\u201d\nDivakaran, Lead for Airspace Innovation &amp; Prime Partnerships, US Air Force\nAFWERX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s EAS will present experts from industry and\ngovernment, participating in 12 in-depth moderated panel discussions covering\nthe full spectrum of topics, including community integration, electric aircraft\ndevelopments, personal\/private AAM aircraft, propulsion (including\nhydrogen-electric), regional air mobility, testing and standards development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>40 In-Person Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Moore, CEO of Whisper and one of the early pioneers of\nthe electric aviation revolution, is the keynote speaker. Other participating\ncompanies and organizations this year include AeroTEC, Archer, Beta\nTechnologies, Community Air Mobility Initiative (CAMI), Diamond Aircraft,\nHydroplane, Joby Aviation, Jetson Aero, Limosa, LuftCar, Opener, Overair,\nSkyDrive, Textron eAviation, Wisk and ZEVA. Top executives from each company\nwill give their updates and insights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just added include executives from electric aircraft\nstartups V\u00c3\u00a6ridion (Germany), AIR (Israel) and Elfly (Norway). Top leaders from\nelectric-motor and energy storage companies Evolito (UK), Rolls-Royce\nElectrical (Germany), H55 (Switzerland) and Electric Power Systems (US) will\nalso highlight the latest in their developments and plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each moderated panel session will include a Q&amp;A\ndiscussion with presenters and attendees \u2014 a hallmark of the annual Electric\nAircraft Symposium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New Student Discounts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a focus on inspiring the next generation of aviation\nand aerospace innovators, the non-profit VFS event is offering a first-time\ndiscount for students. Students coming to the event can attend for only $75,\nafter joining VFS for $25. There is also a special virtual-only option for VFS\nstudent members of only $25.
