NAAA is hosting its 2020 Ag Aviation Expo Dec. 7-10 in person in Savannah, Georgia. As can be seen from the chart below, COVID-19 cases have dropped markedly since July and stayed low in Chatham County and the city of Savannah.
NAAA is excited to host our annual convention in Savannah in December. Pre-registration is open until Nov. 7. There are health protections in place that should be followed to protect all attendees and, for us to hold the Ag Aviation Expo in person, we are required by law to have these health protections at our convention due to this being a large gathering of people.
NAAA is working diligently to ensure our Ag Aviation Expo occurs in person. Our convention offers connection and networking, CEUs and seeing friends; we want to see you too! Please also know that we have a responsibility to you, the facilities and the city of Savannah to show what policies we have in place to make sure risks are mitigated as much as possible from the spread of COVID-19. We also, personally and professionally, want to ensure that we are doing what we can for staff, attendees, exhibitors and the citizens of Savannah to have a healthy annual convention.
NAAA has worked diligently on plans to help with social distancing throughout our convention. We have also worked with the city and our contracted facilities to understand their steps for additional disinfecting/sanitizing during our show. View the protocols here.
