NOTE: NEW THIS YEAR:
A/TA is re-instating the policy of free exhibit registration certificates
for paying industry exhibitors only, based on the following formula:
  • For one to three paid exhibit spaces purchased – one free individual registration
  • For four to nine paid exhibit spaces purchased – two free individual registrations
  • Eight or more paid exhibit spaces purchased – three free registrations
We are officially referring to the exhibit areas as the
AIR MOBILITY TECHNOLOGY EXPOSITION
There will be more exhibit hours; and, the pre-banquet reception
will not be in the exhibit areas, so your tear-down can be earlier.

Except for the pre-banquet Reception, Banquet on Saturday night, and the Sunday Brunch, all refreshment events take place in the AIR MOBILITY TECHNOLOGY EXPOSITION (formerly just called the exhibit hall ) and, therefore, in and among the exhibits. (Please note that as last year, the pre-banquet reception this year will not be in the exhibit area.)

We expect approximately 4000 attendees. About two-thirds are active/ARC military and nearly half of those are enlisted. You can expect to be able to talk to the wrench bender, the wrench bender's boss and then get the senior leadership's take on the same subjects, all in a friendly environment -- yours.

While the Symposium schedule will not be published until approximately 30 days prior to the convention, you can see a general overview and block diagram (when available). To propose topics, contact the Symposium Chairman, Jeff Bigelow. Association Members can Login to myATA to obtain a link to last year's schedule for a general idea of types of activities and speakers. You will need to enter the SSN Last-4 that you gave when you joined or registered. The basic '12 convention overview (when available) can be printed out with the pdf version of the registration form.

The Airlift/Tanker Association's goal is to provide a world-class AIR MOBILITY TECHNOLOGY EXPOSITION to all interested parties on an equitable but prioritized basis.

  1. We first take requests for space in the hall from our Industry Partners.
  2. Then we take requests for space from those who exhibited at our last convention.
  3. Then we take requests from our new exhibitors.
  4. Government agencies may receive one space Pro-Bono.
    1. The free space will be in the exhibit hall (Orlando & Nashville); Anaheim is being worked.
    2. Additional spaces may be purchased at a preferred rate.

For planning purposes, please see Exhibit Space details for expanded explanation of 2012 fees and the space-allocation timetable (exact 2012 timetable in progress).

Within each category, priority is based on payment receipt (postmark) of at least 50% of the booth fees. However, best management of the space within the exhibit hall will determine the final floor plan. If changes are required, every effort will be made to ensure any exhibitors displaced receive equivalent or better space.

Notes:

New this year, exhibiting companies will receive a number of free registrations based on the number of paid exhibit spaces.
