Aviation Week Network's team was catching tailwinds from East to West and North to South these past couple of months.

After EBACE in Geneva, we attended NBAA's White Plains Regional Forum under a perfect June sun. The event achieved unprecedented attendance levels with crowds exceeding capacity expectations, a completely sold-out exhibition floor, full aircraft showcase with no vacant spaces, and expert panel discussions on industry-critical topics that drew standing-room-only audiences. A comprehensive Washington policy landscape session highlighted recent developments in several key areas, including tariff implications for the aviation sector, Air Traffic Control modernization initiatives, and aircraft data security protection measures, to name a few.

Next up was CBAA hosted by the beautiful Canadian city and people of Richmond/Vancouver, B.C. "CBAA 2025 was our biggest and boldest convention yet, and it's all thanks to you," the association said in a statement. Our Sara Hellon returned energized with stories from the business aviation event. A special July shoutout goes to our Canadian friends at Sunwest Aviation, Anderson Air and Air Bravo!

Next up we hope to see you in São Paulo, Brazil for LABACE 2025. The largest business aviation event in Latin America will take place from August 5–7 at Campo de Marte Airport in São Paulo.

We heard good things about the Hilton São Paulo Morumbi in the business district if you are looking for a place to stay. For a top-notch experience all around, you can check out the Rosewood São Paulo, praised for its luxurious design, artistic atmosphere, and excellent service.

If time allows, take a stroll on the exquisite Avenida Paulista, visit the Sé Cathedral or the Gothic-style Monastery of São Bento. You might just happen to run into our team. But if not...

...make sure to come and visit with us on the show floor at booth #F24, and let's catch up on what's new with Aviation Week Network's suite of products, including Air Charter Guide, AC-U-KWIK and Aircraft Bluebook. Olá!
