The 2017 Aviation New Zealand Conference will be held at the Distinction in Hamilton on 24 and 25 July.

Themed “Improving Performance’ the conference will give attendees insights and understanding so that individually and collectively, performance can be improved.

The conference will also include a two day trade show and a gala awards dinner on 25 July when the industry will recognise its best and brightest.

Divisions of Aviation New Zealand will also hold conferences at the same time. These include the NZ Agricultural Aviation Association, NZ Helicopter Association, Supply Services and Engineering Division, Tourist Flight Operators and Training and Development. Some industry training days will also be held in Hamilton.

Agenda tropics for the plenary include the future outlook for aviation (Minister of Transport invited, Labour Transport spokesperson attending, economist), future expectations of the regulator, fatigue risk management, Government as a purchaser of aviation services, working on the business not in it, and more effective insurance cover. The plenary will also profile three world class aviation technologies developed in New Zealand with global potential.

Delegates and exhibitors from Australia, Canada and the United States are expected to attend and it is hoped that representatives from ASEAN will also be there.

The conference provides an opportunity for the leaders of today and tomorrow to spend time together, gain knowledge and improve decision making so that the industry achieves its growth potential.
