Highlights From ABACE2007 Available Online
The second Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE2007) was held February 6 and 7 at AsiaWorld Expo Convention Center located on
the perimeter of Hong Kong International Airport. "It truly was a superb venue with indoor exhibits and Information Sessions located in AsiaWorld
Expo, a short bus ride from the Static Display of Aircraft at Hong Kong Business Aviation Center", said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. "The
proximity of the two facilities made it very convenient for Attendees and Exhibitors to access all that ABACE had to offer." ABACE2007 closed with
more than 2,200 registered Attendees, 65 indoor Exhibitors and 12 aircraft on Static Display, making it the largest business aviation event in the
region. An ABACE photo gallery, a podcast interview with Ed Bolen and several presentations related to business aviation in the region are available
on the ABACE web site at:
