One highly engaged company from Liberty Lake , Washington is Altek , Inc . A founding member of the Inland Northwest Aerospace Consortium ( INWAC ), Mike Marzetta approached several other business owners promoting the idea of the conference . Originally a half-day symposium , the event grew when INWAC joined the Idaho Aerospace Alliance ( now Idaho Manufacturing Association ). Marzetta has remained an ardent supporter as the combined I-90 Aerospace Corridor Conference & Expo enters its seventh year .
Kelly Maloney , vice president of communications at Altek , Inc ., said , “ The I-90 Aerospace Corridor Conference is one of the most anticipated conferences for aerospace manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest . Year after year , the conference delivers the type of information manufacturers seek , from industry forecasts to industry trends and everything in between .
