In addition to hearing from industry leaders Prescott and Pratt & Whitney, this luncheon offers a unique opportunity to hear from a key sector of the aerospace ecosystem that’s often overlooked: airports. Whether commercial, business, or general aviation – airports play a key role integrating operators, manufacturers, and end-users. 

• Capital Region International Airport will provide insight and an airport’s perspective on key issues facing the industry, including: building out infrastructure for electric aircraft and additional future air mobility opportunities; major development projects in cargo and land use; current and upcoming domestic and international airline services; and workforce development initiatives. 
• Prescott will deliver an essential update on CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) compliance, including breaking down when companies need to be compliant, what’s at risk if they aren’t, how long the process takes, and the potential cost of implementation.  
• Pratt & Whitney will provide high-level perspectives on today’s most pressing issues and opportunities facing the aerospace sector. Don’t miss this chance to hear from one of the industry’s top voices as they offer valuable outlooks on the evolving global landscape.

This is a can’t-miss event for aerospace professionals looking to stay informed, connected, and prepared.
