The 55th Annual AEA International Convention & Trade Show (held at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center, National Harbor, Maryland) presented a unique opportunity to connect with manufacturers, distributors, technicians, and business leaders as we shape the future of avionics together. The AEA Convention is the only wholesale avionics show representing nearly 90 percent of the international government-certified avionics shops. The AEA Trade Show is the platform of choice for the introduction of the new avionics products for 2012 and features 75+ hours of Regulatory, Technical, & Business Training, and more than 135 exhibitors to network with! The general aviation avionics community knows the AEA International Trade Show is a must-attend gathering for growing their businesses, training their technicians and meeting with their customers. And to the rest of the aviation world, the AEA Convention is also known for being where "all the really cool stuff happens."
A cornerstone of this event is AEA's Annual 'New Product Introduction' session... whereby dozens of the most important names in aircraft electronics show the aviation world "what's new" for all things avionics. ANN is proud to have partnered once again with the AEA to bring you this year's LIVE COVERAGE of the AEA2012 New Product Introductions, as well as other news and programming of special interest to the avionics and aviation communities. Previous year's efforts were watershed events for us... and in that time, we have produced over 75 hours of original programming, nearly 30 of it LIVE, and thereafter produced well over 100 individual programs that have served the needs of our community -- not just during the 2010 and 2011 Convention and Tradeshows -- but every day since then.
Prior to the start of this year's event, AEA president Paula Derks noted that, "The AEA is thrilled to be in the nation's capital for our 55th International Convention & Trade Show. Our attendees will have the opportunity to network with their industry peers and keep up-to-date with industry trends by seeing new products with the major suppliers under one roof. In this new world of social media, text messaging, emailing and webinars, one thing remains constant: Our attendees still want to see, touch and talk product face-to-face. In addition, we are pleased to partner with Aero-News Network once again and look forward to the live-streaming coverage of the 2012 AEA New Product Introductions session, which features the unveiling of several new products and services critical to our industry. We received excellent feedback from our members on last year's coverage in Reno, particularly the live interviews with industry leaders and executives on the AEA Exhibit Hall floor, along with the YouTube postings of each company presentation during the New Product Introductions session. The Aero-News Network is an outlet that provides attendees with an opportunity to broadcast their message to the entire aviation community..."
ANN looks forward to the 2013 AEA Convention and Trade Show, to be held March 25th-28th in Las Vegas, NV.
