Help make the 2025 Convention possible:

We were humbled by the industry-wide participation in the 2024 convention! It is obvious that our members care deeply about our collective mission to perpetuate Alaska's commercial aviation industry and ensure its prosperity. Our annual convention is supported by attendee and exhibitor fees and sponsorships. Please consider sponsoring part of this year's event to help us continue to be able to host Alaska's largest gathering of local industry stakeholders.

Each year, our convention fills with air carriers, maintenance companies, FAA and NTSB representatives, other government officials, and aviation stakeholders. This is your opportunity to present your brand directly to Alaska's commercial aviation industry.

There are many sponsorship opportunities available, ranging from sponsoring the entire event to specific aspects of each day. Regardless of what you choose to support, attendees, exhibitors, and presenters will know that your company is actively engaged in supporting their industry and community.

Sponsorships go quickly each year, so make sure you secure yours today. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact the AACA directly at aaca@alaskaaircarriers.org.
