NBAA Announces New Event, 'Light Airplane Conference & Exhibition'
NBAA last week announced that it will host a new, three-day industry event, the Light Airplane Conference & Exhibition (LAC&E). NBAA made the
announcement during the annual Sun 'n Fun Fly-In, held in Lakeland, FL. The show will serve as the industry's premier event dedicated to operators
who use light airplanes to make their businesses more successful. Specifically, LAC&E will focus on business owners and other operators of light
jets, turboprops and piston airplanes. "When we ask our Member Companies with light airplanes how NBAA can better serve them, the answer we
frequently get is a request for an event specific to their needs and concerns," said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. "We have heard from this
important part of our membership, and we're responding with this new event specific to light airplane ownership and operations." For more
