A dramatic drop in attendance at last year’s Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference–2,027 compared with 2,612 in 2008–led to concerns for the 2010 conference, coming as it was amid an industry looking for some sign of revival. But according to Jo Damato, NBAA staff liaison to the Schedulers & Dispatchers Committee, this year’s event was “terrific.”
Instead of another drop, attendance reached 2,282, “the third largest number of attendees ever.” Damato also noted that there were 150 first-time attendees, a number consistent with previous shows, as well as large numbers of pilots, flight department managers and aircraft technicians. And they came from as far away as France and the Czech Republic.
