Textron Aviation has opened registration for its 2020 Customer Conference set for April 14-16 in Wichita, Kansas. It is free and available to Beechcraft, Cessna, and Hawker aircraft owners and operators.

This year’s conference will feature a mix of technical and industry topics as well as social and entertainment activities. Specifically, topics will include trends and challenges for flight department operations, a review of air safety investigations, and an understanding of industry workforce challenges and opportunities.

Also, the airframer plans to host a customer social titled “A Night With Doc” that will be held at the Boeing B-29 Doc Hangar & Education Center at Wichita Eisenhower National Airport (ICT), which is the home of one of only two restored and airworthy B-29 Superfortresses. Doc was manufactured by Boeing Wichita.

“The Textron Aviation Customer Conference is a great opportunity for owners to ask questions, learn more about their aircraft, and hear updates about the industry,” said Textron Aviation senior v-p of customer support Brian Rohloff. “It’s a pleasure to host our customers for a mix of education and fun, and it’s also a chance for us to understand how they use their aircraft so that we can better anticipate their service and support needs.”
