The European Pride in Aviation Network (EPAN; Booth J87) has officially launched and is now accepting new members. EPAN, which is exhibiting at EBACE 2023 this week, aims to promote diversity and inclusion in the aviation industry while providing resources and support for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies.
