Organizers of the 2025 European Business Aviation Convention &amp; Exhibition (EBACE) have released details of their planned conference program. Today, the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) said that topic-based presentations and discussions will be spread across three “stages” during the May 20 to 22 event in Geneva.
The main conference sessions will be based on the <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-11-14/ebaa-merges-air-ops-conference-ebace-trade-show">Air Ops event</a>, which EBAA has incorporated into the EBACE format. All of the topics covered relate to the work of ground handlers, airports, FBOs, trip planners, and aircraft operators, with speakers to include experts from organizations such as NetJets, OpsGroup, and Airlec Ambulance.
Innovation is the second main theme from the 2025 conference program and this “stage” will feature sessions on advanced air mobility, sustainable aviation fuel, and compliance with decarbonization policies. Confirmed speakers include leaders from companies such as Bombardier, 4Air, and Azzera.
The third stage will be hosted by Flight Daily News. It will include discussions on business aviation news and topical issues.
“2025 marks a turning point for EBACE and we’re excited to offer an elevated experience for the entire business aviation community,” said EBAA COO Robert Baltus. “Our improved conference agenda will take a refreshed format, delivering actionable content across three new stages, while tackling the topics that matter most to our members.”

News and developments about airplanes, helicopters and unmanned air vehicles used in all varieties of operations, including airlines, military, business, commercial, general aviation and private.
