We are continually updating the schedule of events for this year’s convention 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 thirteen aircraft and an expected 150+ exhibitors.
- Aerial Application Research Technology Session, sponsored by Loveland Products, 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. Sponsored by DuPont Crop Protection.
- Many networking opportunities, including the Welcome Reception, sponsored by Bayer CropScience, the Live Auction & Reception, sponsored by Syngenta, the Pratt & Whitney Canada Reception and the Farewell Reception, sponsored by Hardy Aviation Insurance.
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.
