The annual conference will go online in just a few weeks. ATEC will host 11 panels and a "virtual" exhibit hall, all focused on issues directly impacting aviation technical education.
The event will kick off with a keynote address from FAA Administrator Steve Dickson and follow-on briefings from executive-level officials and individuals responsible for FAA testing and designees.
Day 2 will feature "plane talk" on the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on aviation and workforce projections. Peers will share best practices, and government relations personnel will give you the inside scoop on what to expect out of Washington in the coming months.
Wednesday is dedicated to continuing education and teaching tips for our instructors, with a focus on strengthening and fine tuning online instruction and blended learning environments.
The last two days will highlight trade association programmatic aspects, including an update on the member-funded Choose Aerospace initiative and briefings from our community leaders. Exhibitors will wrap up the week with our long-beloved door prize raffle (as always, you must be present to win!) and an opportunity for some face time with vendors in our virtual meeting room.
All sessions will be recorded for those that are not able to attend the live event. Full registration and a la carte options are available.
