Welcome to the new NWCAS web site!

We’re currently upgrading the site to use WordPress as our content management system, adding more functionality and flexibility for our members. Check back soon for more changes!

Hello Everyone,

We are looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend for NWCAS 2012.  We had so much fun at the Westin Wall Centre Richmond that we are back at the venue this year and ready to host the best conference yet! 

A big thank you to all our Sponsors for helping us to really put on a first class event.  We have a fantastic array of Guest Speakers on both days.  Bob Bishop will tell us how the “Sky has no limit at all!” in the airshow industry.  Lt. Colonel Paul “Max” Moga will share his experiences as an F-22A demo pilot in his talk….”And they pay me to do this!!!”.  And expected the unexpected when MWO Gavin Lee parachutes in and relates his many extraordinary experiences in Search and Rescue. 

John Cudahy from ICAS will bring the latest from the international airshow scene and Llew Roberts is going to share the latest on Websites that Work as we strive to offer more options to build the internet presence for airshows.  Kelly Brouwer will share the latest in Making Social Media work as we tested a number strategies last season.

Special thank you to Transport Canada, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and 1 CAD for their time and support of NWCAS and you can have plenty of time to network and see the latest during the Meet the Agencies segment.

14:15 start Friday the 24th.

See you there!

2011 NWCAS Board of Directors

Thank you to everyone that attended an action packed NWCAS Conference 2011.

To our speakers – Mark Miller, Mike Lavelle, Llew Roberts, Christine Wiebe and “Wilbur” Wright – thank you for great content, learning and fun! You made the day.

To our agencies – 1 Canadian Air Division, The Snowbirds, The SkyHawks and Transport Canada – we really appreciate your support and participation at the NWCAS conference and your commitment to the safety and success of the airshow industry.

To our Sponsors (you can see a complete list on our Conference page) – This conference can’t happen without your generousity and enthusiasm. Thank you so much! This was a record year for sponsorship and enabled NWCAS to add a number of “extras” to the conference weekend. Our Sponsors are a great example of how we can really sponsor just about anything that moves in an airshow or event!

Now on to NWCAS 2012! Thank you to those who participated in the survey so we have your input for our planning meeting.

Donna Flynn, Bill Shepard

Donna Flynn is now taking the roll of Vice President. We also welcome Bill Shepard as our newest board member.

The first phase of the new NWCAS website is now live. Check back soon to view changes as we customize the site to best meet the needs of our members and guests.

Our mission is to support a safe, successful and sustainable future for airshows in the Northwest and throughout the airshow community! We do this by providing a wealth of industry “best practices”, airshow knowledge, resources and shared experience from our members. NWCAS is an excellent venue for networking with regional resources, military and civilian industry contacts.
