We are sincerely grateful to our sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, legislators, and attendees who joined us for the Ohio Aviation Association Annual Conference held April 6–8, 2026. Your participation, expertise, and support made this year’s conference both meaningful and impactful.

Through your involvement, we advanced important conversations around aviation funding, workforce development, and a wide range of technical and operational aviation issues facing airports and the broader aviation community across Ohio. The quality of dialogue, collaboration, and idea-sharing throughout the conference reinforced the strength and momentum of Ohio’s aviation system.

We appreciate the support for the new Ohio Aviation Foundation Spring Golf Outing (Congratulations to winners!) and our first Ohio Aviation Association Job Fair.

We encourage everyone who attended to complete the post-conference survey. Your feedback is invaluable and will help guide future conference programming and OAA initiatives.

Thank you again for your continued commitment to aviation in Ohio. We look forward to building on this success and hope to see you again at the 2027 Ohio Aviation Conference next year.

A photo recap of the event is on the 2026 Annual Conference homepage. 

With appreciation,
