EBACE2005 WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2005--Members of the media are invited to attend the 2005 European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE2005), the only major European event focused solely on business aviation. This year's exhibition, the fifth of its kind, will be held from May 18 through 20 at the Geneva Palexpo Conference Center in Geneva, Switzerland.
EBACE brings together business leaders, government officials, manufacturers, corporate aviation department personnel and all manner of people involved in nearly all aspects of business aviation. New business aircraft firms, avionics firms, handling organizations, fractional providers, charter/lease companies and previously titled aircraft resellers display their wares at the exhibition.
EBACE is jointly hosted each year by the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), the leading association for business aviation in Europe, and the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), the leading voice for the business aviation industry worldwide.
The exhibition will take place at the Geneva Palexpo Conference Center. There, EBACE will showcase more than 260 exhibiting business aviation product and service providers from around the world in a display covering over 16,000 square meters of the conference center. This exhibition in Hall 7 will be strategically located immediately adjacent to Geneva International Airport, where 43 aircraft, including nearly every major business aircraft design in current production, will be on display for direct questions and product comparisons in a special 18,000-square-meter Static Display area.
The event will kick off with an Opening General Session focusing on international and global industry trends. This session will be moderated by EBAA CEO Brian M. Humphries and NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen.
