ATCA Connect – Where ATM Discussions Take Flight

The 70th anniversary of ATCA’s founding is in March and we are celebrating by doing what we love to do best: Hosting ATCA Connect, North America’s leading aviation safety event for air traffic management professionals. We want you to join us! Registration is open

We will be meeting in Charleston, S.C., bringing together industry with leaders from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Department of War (DOW). We’ll navigate the future of aviation with meaningful dialogue, relationship-building, and networking.

We could give you 70 reasons why you should come to fabulous Charleston, one of America’s most historic and charming cities, but here’s our top five:

  • It’s in a unique position as a hub for civil and military aviation;
  • It continues ATCA’s tradition of hosting events around the country to engage a broader cross-section of the FAA and industry;
  • It gives us a focused, collaborative setting away from the noise and distractions in Washington;
  • It is a wonderland for foodies! In fact, the end of ATCA Connect overlaps with the start of the world-famous, five-day Charleston Wine + Food festival celebrating the region’s rich food culture;
  • It figures to be warmer and sunnier than Washington the first week of March!

Here’s what you’ll get at ATCA Connect:
