Pre-Register for the Ag Aviation Expo to Avoid Long Lines Onsite
We urge you to pre-register before Nov. 3 for the 2023 Ag Aviation Expo, which saves you $75 per person. Pre-registration helps us to have accurate food, beverage and seating counts at our events. Attendee registration and booth sales are open for the NAAA Expo in Palm Springs Dec. 4-7! You’ll hear from  Burt Rutan, Aerospace entrepreneur and Virgin Galactic spacecraft designer, at the Monday Kickoff Breakfast. Tuesday’s General Session features Ed Messina, Director of EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs, Terry Kippley, President of the Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology and a Turning Safely discussion moderated by Fran de Kock of Battlefords Airspray in Canada.
 
If you’re looking to grow your business, find a job or sell a product or service in the aerial application industry, the 2023 Ag Aviation Expo is the place for you! Our expo has everything from a world-class trade show floor featuring aircraft and helicopters to education sessions, expert speakers and many networking opportunities!
