Top 10 Tips for Success at the NAAA Ag Aviation Expo

We look forward to seeing you in a few days at the 2020 NAAA Ag Aviation Expo in Savannah, which is your one-stop shop for networking, education and professional development and fun! Follow these steps to have a successful visit in Savannah.
 
1. Pick up your badge or register beginning Sunday, Dec. 6 at the Savannah Convention Center in the River Concourse. Registration hours are:

  • Sunday, Dec. 6: 12–6 p.m.
  • Monday, Dec. 7: 7 a.m.–6:30 p.m.
  • Tuesday, Dec. 8: 7:30–5:30 p.m.
  • Wednesday, Dec. 9: 8 a.m.–3 p.m.
  • Thursday, Dec. 10: 8 a.m.–12 p.m.

2. Review the health and safety protocols for the Ag Aviation Expo.


3. Pick up an Ag Aviation Expo Program at the NAAA Registration desk, as well as your attendee bag which is filled with great items from our sponsors.


4. Earn CEUs! Currently, there are more than two dozen states offering CEUs for the Aerial Application Technology Research Session and some states are offering credits for education sessions. CEUs are also being offered for Certified Crop Advisors. Don’t forget to bring your license (we cannot submit your attendance without the license number)! Visit the NAAA website to view the states offering CEUs. Even if your state is not offering CEUs, don’t pass up the opportunity to learn about new technologies, programs and services in the industry.

 

5. Educate yourself at the Kickoff Breakfast, General Session, GarrCo Products breakfast, and the many education sessions. View a list of the Education Sessions here.


6. Conduct business for your operation at the two-day NAAA Trade Show featuring 100 exhibitors and several aircraft on the floor.

7. New and low-time ag pilots should attend Compaass Rose on Sunday and “Ask the Expert” Speed Mentoring on Monday afternoon. These sessions are designed specifically for those interested in the industry or for those with five or less years of experience. This is your opportunity to talk with industry experts in a small setting.

8. Ladies! The Ag Aviation Expo isn’t just for men. Check out the fun Support Committee Programming
to network, learn from other women in the industry and have some fun, including Monday’s Paint and Wine Event at the Westin.

9. Purchase equipment, parts, services and even goodies you might need while supporting NAAA programs—bid on items in the Live Auction Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. and during the Silent Auction. The Silent Auction opens at 12 p.m. ET on Sunday and closes at 2:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Click here for silent auction eBidding details.

10. Visit with old friends and make new ones
during the Kickoff Breakfast (sponsored by BASF), Welcome Reception (sponsored by UPL North America), GarrCo Products Breakfast, Live Auction Reception (reception sponsored by Syngenta), Farewell Reception and Excellence in Ag Aviation Banquet (sponsored by Corteva Agriscience).
