Innovate . Collaborate . Accelerate .

By Nikki Malcom — Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance

From its humble beginning in 2001 of around 45 attendees , the PNAA ADVANCE Conference has grown exponentially year after year , expanding our reach globally to welcome delegations from multiple countries .

According to Richard Aboulafia of AeroDynamic Advisory , it has become arguably the biggest and most important regional aerospace conference in the industry . PNAA has been honored to have Richard speak at every conference since 2001 . That tradition will continue in 2023 .

ADVANCE 2023 will be held February 6-9th at the Lynnwood Convention Center just north of Seattle , Washington . The theme of the conference this year is Innovate . Collaborate . Accelerate . In their singular form all these words are powerful , but for businesses in the aerospace industry , when these words are combined with one another , you can have the perfect ingredients for success .
The goal of the conference in 2023 is to come together in the beginning of the year to hear topics from leading analysts , OEMs , Tier 1 companies and more , about ways that we can innovate and collaborate to accelerate our success as an industry . Connection to others in the industry is critical as we navigate the “ new normal ” of the manufacturing environment and the conference is the perfect opportunity to connect .
We will kick off the ADVANCE Conference on February 6th , with industry tours and an international reception where we will welcome attendees from all over the world . From there we will have an action-packed week with multiple presentations that will help you access the information needed to create your strategy for 2023 and into the future .
