NBAA 2010 A PRE-CONVENTION DAY IN ATLANTA

Hi to all from Atlanta, it is Monday, October 18th. Just getting the final touches complete for my conference tomorrow on Operating Business Aircraft in China/Asia. This will be a case study presented by Jeff Lee, Aviation Director of IBM. He will lay out a set of requirements as well as his perceived challenges to begin to operate aircraft in the region. Speaking to his challenges and requirements will be experts from the region as well as the United States. I think everyone attending will leave with a wealth of information to help you and your companies not feel like you are blazing a trail! The event is scheduled for Tuesday, October 19th at 3:30 pm and presentations end at 5 with discussions and Q & A’s till 6 pm. It is being held in Hall C, room 102.
Also today I will be attending an NBAA Press conference where they will announce the future plans for the associations involvement with trade shows in China. Should be very exciting news!
On a personal note, it is great to have my wife Sandra, sons Josh and Adam as well as our daughter Jessica attending the convention as well as the NBAA Tax Conference. Makes for really great family discussions around the dinner table! Also here this week is Adam’s wife Ayeisha.
Many great events as well as chances to see old friends and make new ones as our collective industry dusts itself off and gets back to business. More tomorrow!
