The Air Charter Association (ACA) will be hosting its first Air Charter Regional Forum on August 19 and 20 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This marks the third U.S. industry event for ACA following air charter roundtables in Colorado and Georgia. ACA said it already represents 50 members in the U.S.
According to ACA, the Air Charter Regional Forum will be a “primary opportunity for engaging discussions between industry partners on current challenges and solutions,” as well as create dialogue between charter brokers and operators. The U.S. event will be hosted by ACA CEO Glenn Hogben and Ryan Waguespack, ACA’s international board member for North America.
Similar ACA forums held throughout Europe featured panel discussions and interactive roundtable debates, with topics “carefully curated” based on ACA member feedback. These topics have included air charter fraud and cybersecurity, regulatory developments, and broker-operator relationships.
“The Air Charter Association is a truly global organization, with a steadily growing membership in the U.S., and we want to ensure that we are providing the same outstanding networking opportunities to our U.S. members,” said Hogben. “After delivering several successful industry networking events in the region over the past year, it is fantastic that we are now able to take the ACA Air Charter Regional Forum to the U.S.”
