Heading to Oshkosh? Make Plans to Meet Up with NBAA

July 18, 2025

From connecting with industry stakeholders to taking part in panel discussions on careers in aviation and the industry’s sustainability leadership, NBAA will have a strong presence at the Experimental Aircraft Association’s AirVenture, taking place July 21-27 at Wittman Regional Airport (OSH) in Oshkosh, WI.

The association’s distinctive white tent – with plenty of space to watch the daily airshow, connect with peers or take in a game of cornhole – is again located near the flight line in Tent 432.

“We invite everyone to stop by, meet the team, learn about NBAA and the benefits of membership and connect with others in the business aviation community,” said NBAA Chief Revenue Officer Andrew Broom. “The NBAA team can discuss all the exciting new plans for this year’s NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) and make sure to drop off your business card for a chance at a free pass to this year’s event.”
