EBACE Connect is set to kick off next week with pilot and aviation visionary Erik Lindbergh headlining the keynote session on May 18, followed by a town hall featuring leading OEMs on May 19. The virtual event, which is supplanting the in-person EBACE held annually in Geneva, will run from May 18 to 20 and include a host of informational sessions and a media day, in addition to the keynote, town hall, and other activities.
European Business Aviation Association secretary-general Athar Husain Khan and NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen will moderate both the EBACE Connect keynote and town hall.
Calling Lindbergh a pioneering aviator, business leader, and philanthropist who “knows personally what it takes to usher in a new era of aviation,” EBACE Connect organizers said he is expected to share his insights on sustainable flight, emerging transport technologies, workforce development, and other priorities for the Lindbergh Foundation.
