Nearly 40 of the world’s leading electric aircraft developers and technology experts will be speaking at the 18th Annual Electric Aircraft Symposium (EAS), hosted by the Vertical Flight Society (VFS).

The event will once again be held online and in person in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on July 20–21, 2024 — the weekend prior to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture 2024.

EAS provides an excellent opportunity to network with leaders of AAM at a small intimate conference organized by the technical leaders of the industry.

The annual Electric Aircraft Symposium is the premier electric VTOL / STOL / CTOL and advanced air mobility (AAM) event held immediately prior to EAA’s AirVenture. Plan to come early to Oshkosh to learn an out the latest in electric aviation!
