What is the Conference?
Whether you are a seasoned airshow professional or just starting in the
industry – the NWCAS conference is your ticket to educational events,
promotional opportunities, networking and of course… our renowned
social events!
Industry Experts Panel:
These interactive sessions provide you with access to the expertise of
a number of show professionals. From marketing, sponsorship, traffic and
gates or air ops our panel discussions gives you direct contact to those
with years of experience and best practices in their area of specialty.
Performer’s Showcase:
The performers showcase has become a staple of the conference. Any performer
that would like their 2 minutes at the mic, can present their act to our
Northwest airshow audience. Whether you are a veteran performer or new
to the circuit – this is your chance to market!
Exhibit Area:
Just added. We have added an exhibit area to our conference event room
so performers and service providers can promote their business. Use this
space for DVD’s, information packages and brochures so that your
service is seen!
Keynote Speakers:
Hear from entertaining speakers from the aviation industry on a variety
of topics. Some will inspire you, some will make you laugh but most importantly
they are speaking on area of interest to all of us – aviation
New! Safety Simulation:
The NWCAS safety briefing has become the annual opportunity for airshow
producers, performers and support services to learn from recent accidents
and/or incidents and share safety best practices that will ensure we have
the safest shows possible. Building on this success, we have redesigned
the session to include actual safety simulations and workshops for all
aspects of an airshow....check out the runway running down the conference
room!!!!
Military Agencies:
For many years we have appreciated the support of 1 Canadian Air Division,
the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the USAF Air Combat Command at our conference.
Each agency will provide you with the latest updates on process and procedures
for their show season. This is also a great opportunity to network if
you are a new show or looking to add a military aspect to your event.
Transport Canada and the FAA:
What would an airshow be without Transport Canada or the FAA – well
there just wouldn’t be an airshow actually. Representatives from
each agency will share the practices, procedures and protocols that will
keep your show safe and running smoothly.
Having Fun:
And if none of the above appeal to you, just attend the conference for
our social events. Catch up with your airshow friends and family…
meet new ones and have some fun. We have added new networking segments
to the conference!!
