Dear Members, Friends and Associates,

The Flight School Association of North America (FSANA) invites you to attend the Third Annual International Flight School Operators Conference—the only Conference in North America specifically geared to the flight training industry. Flight school owners, operators and managers and others involved with flight training, along with exhibitors and sponsors, will join together in Las Vegas, Nevada, where industry experts will be sharing their knowledge for the benefit of the flight training industry. Your participation will build value for your organization and help create a new vision and culture change which will lead to a greatly improved general aviation industry around the globe. It will be a win-win situation for all involved.

This conference is dedicated to the flight training industry. Conference sessions will focus on a variety of important issues impacting the flight school sector from east to west coasts. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with peers, supply chain partners and government representatives involved in the business of flight training. The workshops are incredibly popular for both new and returning attendees.

New in 2012… Hangar dinner & aircraft static display on May 2

Aircraft manufacturers will be displaying their planes at our airport display hangar. On Wednesday May 2, conference attendees will get to enjoy dinner in the display hangar. Aircraft manufacturers will share the latest information about their aircraft. This event is all business and the public does not attend. We look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas.
