VAI IS GEARING UP FOR ITS annual Aerial Work Safety Conference, which this year takes place Nov. 19–21 (conference and exhibits open Nov. 20–21) at Boise Centre in downtown Boise, Idaho. This premier event will bring together professionals from various sectors of vertical aviation, including aerial firefighting; utility, construction, and patrol; and restrict- ed-category operations. Kicking off on Nov. 19 with VAI
Industry Advisory Council meetings (see “VAI Working Groups Are Now Industry Advisory Councils,” p. 13), the conference will open its first full day on Nov. 20 with a general ses- sion, followed by breakout sessions tailored by industry sector. Attendees can expect in-depth discussions on safety enhancements, protocols, and risk-management strategies vital to promoting safety in aerial operations. On the final day, Nov. 21, partic- ipants will hear from key personnel
from the US Forest Service and the US Department of the Interior who will share insights on national safety practices, regulations, and other contracting issues. Additionally, FAA representatives will provide crucial regulatory updates and networking opportunities. The Aerial Work Safety Conference
is particularly beneficial for those working in or aspiring to join the vertical aviation industry, including companies competing for government contracts or those operating restricted-category aircraft. The event offers unmatched networking potential, allowing profes- sionals to connect and exchange ideas with fellow industry members. Don’t miss this opportunity to boost
