4. Earn CEUs! Currently, nearly two dozen states are 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 and many education sessions. View the schedule here. Hear from Captain Scott Kelly at the Kickoff Breakfast. The General Session speakers are Dr. Stan Musick and Farm Babe Michelle Miller.
6. Conduct business for your operation at the two-day NAAA Trade Show featuring 160-plus exhibitors and four 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 fewer 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 Sunsphere Lunch and Wednesday’s Relationship Drift and Athena presentations.

The Silent Auction opens at noon on Tuesday and closes at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday. There is no eBidding this year; please bid in person at Booth #123.
