VIP Program

A Special Welcome to All First Time Conference Attendees - VIPs

Remember Your First Aviation Conference? It was exciting, maybe a little overwhelming—but definitely unforgettable. That’s exactly why the SEC-AAAE created the VIP Program—short for Valued-Included-Professional—launched at the 2023 Annual Conference in Richmond. This initiative is designed to ensure that first-time attendees feel welcomed, connected, and confident from the moment they register.

Here’s how the VIP experience begins:

  • Pre-Conference Outreach: VIPs receive a warm welcome before the event even begins.
  • Special Welcome Table: Located next to registration at the host hotel—expect friendly faces and maybe a few surprises!
  • VIP Badge Ribbons: These make it easy for other attendees to spot and greet first-timers.
  • Ambassador Support: Dedicated volunteers help VIPs connect with fellow newcomers and seasoned members alike.

Whether you're attending solo or with a team, the VIP Program ensures your first SEC-AAAE Annual Conference is one to remember!
