Hotel is Booked, Now Complete Your Checklist and Register for the NAAA Ag Aviation Expo

We look forward to seeing you at the 2017 NAAA Ag Aviation Expo in Savannah, Ga., Dec. 4–7 at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center and Westin Savannah. Besides the Ag Aviation Expo, experience Savannah by visiting old mansions, enjoying historical tours, ghost tours and great restaurants and bars. You can register online for the Ag Aviation Expo or you can print and mail a registration form.

We are continually updating the schedule of events for this year’s Ag Aviation Expo and we are excited to announce a few of our exciting events scheduled for this December:

  • Kickoff Breakfast speaker Shannon Huffman Polson, Former U.S. Army Apache Helicopter Pilot and Captain. She was the first woman to fly Apache combat helicopters in the U.S. Armed Forces, where she served on three continents and led two flight platoons and a line company. Kickoff Breakfast sponsored by BASF
  • General Session – NAAA’s own Shark Tank, modeled after the popular ABC TV show where technology innovators will present their aerial application inventions to “sharks” (in our case, experienced applicators) who will ask the innovators some tough questions related to suitability to the ag aviation industry. Further details will be available this fall. In addition, we’ll have an Insurance Mock Trial, presented by the NAAA Insurance Committee. Sponsored by Syngenta and AIG
  • NAAA Trade Show – featuring eleven aircraft and an expected 140+ exhibitors
  • Aerial Application Research Technology Session (formerly called ASABE Session), sponsored by Bayer CropScience, and more than a dozen educational sessions (additional details will be posted as they become available). Possible CEUs at sessions; CEU information will be available this Fall.
  • Excellence in Ag Aviation Banquet honoring individuals and companies in the aerial application industry who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Award Nominations due by Sept. 8.

Potential Exhibitors: If you’re an allied company interested in exhibiting, you can purchase booth space here or you can contact Lindsay Barber at (202) 546-5722 for further details.

Book Your Hotel Room

2017 NAAA Ag Aviation Expo 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 through Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. If you cannot call during those hours, please book your room 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 cancelling rooms at the Westin a few days before the NAAA Ag Aviation Expo, 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.
