New Amphibious Aviation Conference to be Launched in March

Venice will host the first annual Future Opportunities for Seaplanes & Amphibious Aviation conference on March 21. Joint organizers Quaynote Communications and Arena Group selected the historic trading port on Italy’s Adriatic Sea coast as a focal point for innovators looking to tap the potential for water-based air transportation.

The gathering is expected to attract around 200 participants, including aircraft manufacturers, operators, and other stakeholders. The conference agenda will focus on the case for a new generation of amphibious aircraft and how these can be brought into commercial service.
