FSANA's conference is an annual opportunity for flight training providers to congregate and discuss current issues, regulations, and best business practices. According to Robert Rockmaker, president and CEO of FSANA, "Everyone in the business of flight training should attend in order to learn, network, and meet supply chain partners and others who interface with their industry. These are the most important four days of the year for their business. Existing and new flight schools, or anyone thinking of starting one, will benefit from this conference's essential sessions and workshops. This conference is unrivaled in the industry for the quality and scope of its sessions."
