NAAA is excited to host our annual convention in Palm Springs, CA Dec. 4-7. If you’re attending, we urge you to save $75.00 and
pre-register by Nov. 3. It will also help us reduce lines at the registration desk and have accurate food/beverage counts, especially if you’re attending the
Kickoff Breakfast to hear from Burt Rutan, Aerospace entrepreneur and Virgin Galactic spacecraft designer.
We still have plenty of hotel rooms available at the Hilton and Hyatt in the
NAAA room block for those who haven’t booked a room or are still undecided. The deadline to book your hotel room in the NAAA block is Nov. 9.
In addition to attendee registration, please also register for the following events:
- Flying in the Wire and Obstruction Environment Course, which is acclaimed by professional airplane and helicopter operators world-wide. It gives low-altitude aviators the essential skills needed to safely operate an aircraft in wire and obstruction environments. This course is for both aircraft and helicopter pilots. Learn how to identify signs of wires and why ag aviators hit wires they already knew were there. This course may very well save your life—don’t miss it. $150 per person; 8-hour course; register online.
- Pitch Perfect for PAASS is a karaoke fundraising event for NAAREF's PAASS program. You don’t need to sing to participate! You can also participate by registering to attend because your registration fee is a donation to NAAREF/PAASS. Registration includes two drink tickets! This is a terrific social event with the added benefit of raising money for NAAREF and PAASS and the lifesaving and environmental stewardship benefits those entities achieve. Join us Sunday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. $110 donation to NAAREF per person; register online.
- Support Committee’s Monday Cooking Demonstration & Wine Pairing with the chef of the Palm Springs Convention Center. Event RSVP is required to Cathy Ellett.
We look forward to seeing you in December for networking, education,
CEUs and a really good time!
