This year’s 62nd National Business Aviation Association Annual Meeting & Convention (October 20 to 22) probably won’t exceed previous records, but later this month the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., will definitely bustle with exhibitors setting up booths, aircraft arriving at nearby airports and thousands of attendees gathering for a week’s worth of learning, sharing and, hopefully, selling.

Last year, 1,183 exhibitors filled the convention center, and this year’s number is expected to be less than 1,000, according to the NBAA. The static display should see about 120 aircraft, down from last year’s record 139.
