The world’s economy may be in a financial funk, but you wouldn’t know it from the advance sales for this month’s NBAA 54th Annual Meeting and Convention in New Orleans. Despite the global monetary downturn, at press time nearly 5,000 booth spaces had been sold to more than 1,000 exhibitors–124 of which are first-timers.

The annual gathering makes its second consecutive appearance in the “City that Care Forgot” from September 18 to 20. This is believed to be only the second time in NBAA history that the annual gathering has been held back-to-back in the same venue, although that will recur in the next few years since only three cities are currently deemed suitable to hold bizav’s big event. Last year, 965 exhibitors accounted for 4,750 booth spaces, while attendance peaked at 29,421.
