Women in Aviation
International has released a short video documenting
all the activity at its 28th Annual International
Conference held at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, in March 2017.
With a theme of
Connect. Engage. Inspire., this year’s conference
hosted more than 4,500 participants.
“We’re thrilled
that this video accurately captures the spirit and
diversity of our conference which is like no other
in aviation,” said WAI President
Dr. Peggy Chabrian.
“For those who have never attended one of our
conferences, the video will show what they’ve been
missing.”
Of particular note
in this year’s conference were a roster of speakers,
an all-day Girls in Aviation Day event for local
Girl Scouts, and the launch of WAI’s campaign for
member motivation and inclusion called “I am WAI.”
The video shows interviews from a WASP to a mechanic
to a young professional and others as well as a
visit to the exhibit hall which this year included
165 companies and organizations.
“One of the
reasons for the ‘I am WAI’ theme is to show that WAI
is not just for pilots, but for anyone who is
involved in any aspect of aviation and aerospace
whether as a career or a lifestyle,” said Dr.
Chabrian.
The 29th Annual
International Women in Aviation Conference will be
held March 22-24, 2018, at Reno-Sparks Convention
Center. For more information, visit
