Canada's Voice for Business Aviation
What’s Happening This Week?
This week, the CBAA and Western Canada's business aviation professionals had the opportunity to view and learn about the exceptional PC-12 NGX, courtesy of Levaero Aviation. The aircraft was showcased in Edmonton, Calgary, and will be on display for tours at CBAA's Pacific meeting in Vancouver this evening.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our meeting sponsors, Levaero Aviation and Honeywell Aerospace, and all those who attended these meetings and participated in important conversations.
Tonight's event in Vancouver concludes a month-long cross-Canada CBAA chapter meeting tour, during which we had the pleasure of meeting familiar faces and forging new relationships.
More details about CBAA's next chapter tour, which will take place in Fall 2023, will be shared soon.

The Next 730 Days: What to Expect in Technology, the Economy, and the Future of Work
History has shown that we can only accurately predict two years ahead, or 730 days. So, while many are sharing their 5, 10, 15, 20-year forecasts, often with conflicting ideas and notions, this keynote is your antidote. A clear, narrow-focused exploration of the forces shaping our near future and how leaders and organizations can better prepare for it.
Award-winning business and technology visionary Leonard Brody provides a data and research-driven look at this next critical period in technology, the economy, and the future of work, while also sharing proven best practices.
