Save the Date for the 2017 Ag Aviation Expo
Are you wondering what the 2017 Ag Aviation Expo is? Following in the footsteps of other trade associations that have renamed their conventions, the NAAA Convention Committee voted to rename the NAAA Convention & Exposition the Ag Aviation Expo.
 

Save the Date for the 2017 Ag Aviation Expo

  • Dates: Dec. 4– 7, 2017
  • Location: Savannah International Trade & Convention Center. Some events will also take place at the Westin, which is located directly next to the convention center.
  • Schedule of Events: Current schedule here. Subject to change.
  • Hotel: Hotel details below.
  • Attendee Registration: Will open in July.
  • Exhibitor Booth Sales: Will open in July (date TBD). We start selling large booth space (aircraft, 10’x30’, 20’x20’ or larger) in March and April. Please email Lindsay if you’d like to be contacted regarding large booth space.
  • Sponsorship Opportunities: Will be available in March. Please email Lindsay if you would like to secure a sponsorship from last year or would like to be contacted about 2017 opportunities! We have sponsorships available for all budget sizes.
  • Auction Donations: Thank you to Pratt & Whitney Canada for their donation of a PT6-34AG Engine and to Air Tractor for their donation of a three blade Hartzell Propeller to this year’s NAAA Live Auction. While we’re still several months away from the Ag Aviation Expo, it’s never too early to donate an item for the Live and Silent Auction. The earlier you inform us of your auction donation, the more advertising you’ll receive on the NAAA website and in NAAA publications. Support the aerial application industry by donating an item today. Email Lindsay with your donation details.

Book Your Hotel Room

2017 NAAA Convention housing is coordinated through the Savannah Area Convention & Visitors Bureau Housing office. Please do not call the hotels directly; use the link and/or phone number below to book your room.
 
Rooms are available at the Westin Savannah Harbor (directly next to the convention center), Hyatt Regency Savannah and Savannah Marriott Riverfront hotels (across the river from the convention center and Westin – transportation provided). 
 
Book your room today by clicking here or calling the housing bureau at (912) 644-6465. Please note that reservations are taken Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. If you cannot call during those hours, please book your room online here.
 
PLEASE NOTE THE CANCELLATION POLICY FOR THE WESTIN FOR 2017. For each reservation canceled after Nov. 1, a non-refundable one night room and tax will be charged to the credit card on file. Guests who check out early (prior to the reserved check-out date) will be assessed one full night's room charge, plus applicable taxes. This was put in place in 2015 due to many people canceling rooms at the Westin a few days before the NAAA Convention, leaving dozens of rooms unfilled at that hotel. 

Complimentary Transportation & River Taxis

Complimentary river taxis and bus transportation will be provided between the hotels, convention center and the downtown Savannah entertainment district for all exhibitors and attendees.
