Top 10 Tips for Success at the NAAA Ag Aviation Expo

We look forward to seeing you in a few days at the 2022 NAAA Ag Aviation Expo in Knoxville, your one-stop shop for networking, education and professional development and fun, all while honoring 100 years of the aerial application industry!


Follow these steps to have a successful visit in Knoxville:


1. Pick up your badge or register beginning Sunday, Dec. 4, at the Knoxville Convention Center in the Park Concourse (second floor). Registration hours are below and fees can be viewed here.

  • Sunday, Dec. 4: 12–6 p.m.
  • Monday, Dec. 5: 7 a.m.–6:30 p.m.
  • Tuesday, Dec. 6: 7:30–5 p.m.
  • Wednesday, Dec. 7: 8 a.m.–3 p.m.
  • Thursday, Dec. 8: 8 a.m.–12 p.m.

2. Download our NAAA Expo App, which is the most up-to-date program on-site. Visit AgAviation.org/expoapp to view the details.


3. Don’t have a smartphone or tablet to download the app? No problem. Simply 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, 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.


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 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.


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