The Air Charter Safety Foundation plans to introduce a fully redesigned format for its 2026 Safety Symposium, scheduled April 7 to 9 at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. ACSF described the new approach as an immersive, operator-focused learning model that replaces traditional presentations with a “Day in the Life of an Operator” structure built around practical engagement.

ACSF board chairman Kent Stauffer said the format is “built as an active immersive learning experience, not a passive PowerPoint audience watch party.” The organization said the 2026 program emphasizes scenario-based discussions, interactive modules, and sessions that reflect real operational challenges for operators, MROs, FBOs, manufacturers, and safety teams.
