About this Year's Program: Riding the Production Wave

Announced production rates are already going to all-time highs and Airbus and Boeing are considering even higher rates. Production on the Bombardier CSeries will be ramping up soon. Embraer is considering future airplane programs. China, Japan and Russia are gearing up for production on their new airplanes. Suppliers face unprecedented challenges to meet the global demand.

Affordable Option: PNAA’s 11th Annual Aerospace Conference and Suppliers’ Fair is an affordable way to understand what is happening in the Defense and Commercial Aviation sectors.

Half Day Defense Focus: Our Defense Focus half-day, launched last year, proved popular with those suppliers keen to learn about Defense issues. Our Main Conference concentrates on Commercial Aviation, followed by the afternoon Suppliers’ Fair in which one-on-one meetings are arranged.

PNAA’s Conference is geared toward the small- and medium-supply chain. More than 300 people attended the 2011 conference, representing 191 companies from 14 US States and three Canada Provinces, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain; and 26 exhibitors (space- limited).
