Building on the success of the first event held in March2024, when commercial members of the burgeoning seaplane and amphibious sector gathered in Venice, this year FOSAA will be held in Florida. The inaugural event confirmed the pent-up demand for an industry conference devoted to the sector, and the second event will once again bring together stakeholders from across the world to debate and discuss the growing potential and opportunities in the industry.
The conference will build on the theme of growing successful operations, with topics reflecting resources, infrastructure, tourism development, powertrain options, retrofitting, and regulations—all of which impact start-ups and established operations. New additions to the event include more networking opportunities and a roundtable session to wrap up the day, where subject matter experts will host dedicated topics, including medevac, environmental impact, training, connectivity, interiors, and much more.
OEMs, operators, consultants and supply chain stakeholders have signed up, along with sponsors, including connectivity provider Satcom Direct and start-up OEMs JEKTA and Elfly. “Since our event in March, we are seeing more profile for the sector as the industry acknowledges the benefits of the flexibility, multiple operating parameters and diverse applications for these aircraft to the global air transport network,” says Lorna Titley, Director Quaynote Communications, the conference producer. “We are excited to provide the platform for the 2025 event and anticipate it will attract an even more diverse set of delegates, as with our Miami location we’re already receiving interest from resort developers, the yachting industry and tourism providers. We were oversubscribed in Venice and expect as much if not more interest this year with a wide range of topics and world-class speakers.”
