Aircraft Researchers Group (ARG)—a community for business aircraft market researchers, analysts, brokers, operators, and related professionals—will once again hold its ARG Connect event at NBAA-BACE. Set to take place on October 20 at the Viva! By Ray Garcia hotel in Las Vegas, the networking event allows this community gather together in a casual atmosphere. Those who wish to attend must RSVP. (ARG is an AIN Media Group subsidiary.)
“Now in our ninth year, ARG Connect has become an event our community genuinely looks forward to,” said ARG chair&nbsp;<a href="http://aircraftresearchersgroup@gmail.com/">Mackenzie Messier</a>. “Last year was another reminder of what makes it special: bringing people who work together throughout the year into one room to reconnect, build new relationships, and enjoy the community that’s grown around ARG. Our goal each year is simply to create the space for that.”
Membership in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.aircraftresearchersgroup.com/">ARG</a>&nbsp;is free, as are its happy hour events, web-based coffee talks, online group, and newsletters, thanks to industry sponsors. While the ARG Connect event allows for in-person networking, the group’s frequent web-based coffee talks and WhatsApp group bring members together to discuss current aircraft market trends, research techniques, and analyst insights, among others.
