Exciting new add on training day Friday January 31st!
This new collaborative effort between NECAS and ICAS is a condensed version of the two perennially popular introductory workshops offered at the ICAS Convention each year: Air Shows 101 Air/Ground Operations Training Workshop and Air Shows 102 Business Basics Workshop.
Offered during an information-packed full day on Friday, January 31 (requiring a Thursday night arrival for some NECAS Conference attendees), this new program has been developed specifically for this year’s 2025 NECAS Conference. It is tailored to the information and training needs of new staff members and volunteers who require a deeper and comprehensive understanding of the complexities air shows and how they are planned and executed.
