Delegates rated the IBGAA’s 2022 Conference as one of the best events in the Business Aviation calendar. The conference had excellent and engaging content from industry experts such as Gulfstream, Rolls Royce, Jet Aviation, Jetcraft, Global Jet Capital, Satcom, Honeywell, IBAC, EBAA, Farnborough Airport, Private Jet Card Comparisons, Irish Airports, Future Mobility Ireland Campus, Pal-V International, Irish tourism agencies, luxury castle hotels, law firms, charter brokers and operators.

The IBGAA conference is the only international event where leadership from business aviation and ultraluxe tourism come together to discuss and align business opportunities for growth.

What Forbes Magazine said in an article about the conference:

“It’s rare to find executives of private aviation and travel and tourism industry in the same room, as while seemingly closely connected, they operate in separate silos”

From Corporate Jet Investor:

“The inaugural (IBGAA) business aviation conference in Ireland may be a seminal moment for expansion of the sector in the Emerald Isle.

Who should attend?

This year’s IBGAA Business Aviation Conference will appeal to senior decision makers in business aviation, with a target audience of corporate jet operators, charter sector brokers, aircraft owners, plus charter users from various sectors (MICE, sport and entertainment).

Why Attend?

The conference will present an opportunity to meet charter sector operators and representatives from ultraluxe tourism. Current business aviation issues and new developments will be discussed with industry peers in a relaxed atmosphere. The conference presents an ideal opportunity to network and build new relationships at a senior level within Business Aviation.
