NBAA is launching a new panel-and-discussion series during BACE next week in Las Vegas, bringing together a spectrum of industry leaders to discuss key issues in an interactive format.

The Flight Deck series will feature CEOs, government officials, other industry executives, and “big picture” thinkers to provide their views on the most pressing topics confronting business aviation. In addition, Flight Deck will provide a forum for executives to share thought leadership and highlight a range of technologies from companies including Avinode, Electra, Joby, and Lilium.

Held all three days on the convention floor (Booth 100), the Flight Deck series kicks off on the opening day on October 22 with a discussion surrounding AI in business aviation and also will delve into today’s business aircraft market. A “Meet the Regulators” session, rounding out the first-day sessions, will include perspectives from senior FAA and TSA officials.

Other topics throughout the week thread through flight security, industry outlook, sustainability, and a range of discussions surrounding emerging technologies and the advanced air mobility sector. On October 24, the third day of the show, the Flight Deck series will conclude with a "Collegiate Connect" session.
