As part of its commitment to reimagining EBACE, the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) is making the strategic decision not to have a static display at 2025’s show, while redefining the strategy of the event going forward.
EBAA shared that it will instead concentrate on delivering quality conference content and maximising networking opportunities for attendees, exhibitors, sponsors and the media.
“2025 marks a transitional year as EBAA takes on the running of EBACE and we have an exciting vision for the show’s future,” said Holger Krahmer, secretary general at EBAA. “Whilst there will be no static display this year, we are actively exploring opportunities for the future to be as flexible as possible in meeting the ever-changing needs of our industry.”
“As the leading show for business aviation in Europe, we want to ensure our format delivers for everyone who is present at EBACE,” Krahmer continued. “We have listened carefully to feedback from our community and those calling for change. We often hear attendees praise the unparalleled networking opportunities and quality conference content on offer at EBACE, with real business happening on the show floor. As part of our commitment to amplifying our value proposition for visitors, we’ve made the strategic decision to continue with the exhibition but not to have a static display at EBACE25.”
EBACE25 will see the integration of its AIROPS conference for the first time, as well as the return of the Innovation Zone, for startup companies.
“As well as a completely different floorplan, we’re investing to realign EBACE with our core vision, providing a strengthened conference programme that spotlights the latest market intelligence and developments in business aviation in Europe,” said Krahmer. “In addition, we’re designing an opening event that will bring energy to the start of EBACE25 and offering a targeted meet-up programme for attendees to connect with like-minded individuals in specialised areas of interest. With more developments to come, we’re making the show what it needs to be: the premier place for the European business aviation industry to come together and do business.”
Krahmer and Robert Baltus, chief operations officer at EBAA, will be speaking at CJI London, on 3-5 February 2025, and will be available to answer questions.
