Deal Links World’s Largest Aviation Multimedia Information Services Provider with Capstone event of U.S. Air Force’s 60th Anniversary Celebration

LAS VEGAS – Aviation Week, the largest multimedia information and services provider to the global aviation, aerospace and defense industries, announced today an agreement with the Aviation Nation Foundation (ANF) to co-host a two-day Air & Space Leaders Symposium to coincide with the capstone event of the U.S. Air Force’s 60th Anniversary Heritage to Horizons celebration.

In its third year, the symposium, which is held annually in conjunction with Aviation Nation — the Nellis Air Force Base-Las Vegas Air Show, includes forums, keynote addresses and exhibits. The mission of the symposium is to bring senior military and industry leaders together in combined forums to discuss a variety of issues affecting American airpower. This year, the symposium also coincides with an Air Force Heritage Week. Headquarters, U.S. Air Force designated Las Vegas as one of two locations to host such an event in 2007. The commemorative week is scheduled to include numerous additional activities and other community events.

“Aviation Nation is the most attended and supported defense and aerospace air show in North America by leading aerospace companies, and support from this industry is expected to double in 2007,” said Bob Avery, ANF chairman. “Aviation Week has been a proud supporter of ANF and the Aviation Nation Air Show since 2003 and we are excited to have the 91-year expertise of the world’s most-respected aviation, aerospace and defense information source in the development of the Air & Space Leaders Symposium in 2007.”

“ANF has assisted the U.S. Air Force in building Aviation Nation into an exciting, innovative event with strong public and educational outreach, and has increased aerospace involvement and participation every year,” said Tom Henricks, President, Aviation Week. “We’re looking forward to co-presenting this symposium and growing it into one of the premier events on the air and space conference and exhibition circuit.”
