If you are planning to travel to Seattle, you may be interested in the annual conference of the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance, in the Lynnwood Convention Centre, WA from February 7 to 9th. Of particular interest will be the Suppliers purchasing fair on Day 3, Wednesday afternoon.
Draft conference agenda: http://www.pnaa.net/Pages/Events/Conference/2011/Agenda.pdf is attached for your consideration.
Conference on-line registration (bottom of webpage): http://www.pnaa.net/Pages/Events/Conference/2011/2011_Conference.html;
A number of Canadian aerospace associations have signed reciprocity agreements with the PNAA (AIABC, Aviation Alberta, Saskatchewan Aerospace Association, Manitoba Aerospace and Aerospace Association of Quebec) allowing for member rates ($425 before January 21; also special $195 rate for half-day “focus on defence”) at this conference. There will be at least fifteen or so Canadian companies in attendance this year.
We are trying to assemble a British Columbia presence. If you are thinking of travelling to Seattle this year, you might consider adding this conference to your plans. Please let me know whether your company would be interested in attending.
Yours sincerely,
