NBAA’s Collegiate Connect program is returning to NBAA-BACE as the association continues its drive to attract new talent into the business aviation workforce. To be held October 22, the final day of the 2026 NBAA annual convention and exhibition, Collegiate Connect will provide an opportunity for students to learn about different career paths in the industry and meet with industry professionals.

“Collegiate Connect is a meaningful event for any student exploring a career in business aviation,” said Elayna Hall, manager of professional development for NBAA. “This is a wonderful opportunity to engage directly with industry leaders as well as gain perspectives and guidance from professionals in the early stages of their careers. It fosters the development of connections that position a student to stand out as more than just a name on an application.”
