Showcasing the Future of Vertical Flight
The 2023 Annual Forum and Technology Display (Forum 79) returns to the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, May 16-18, 2023. Located in the heart of the West Palm Beach entertainment district and only minutes from Palm Beach International Airport, Forum 79 promises to deliver an enjoyable event experience for the vertical flight community.
Well known for its sunshine and phenomenal shoreline, Palm Beach County is also recognized as a leader in aviation and aerospace engineering.

Exhibitors will interface with top program decision-makers on the show floor during unopposed exhibit hall viewing hours as well as at exhibit hall luncheons, receptions, and industry-wide sessions such as the US Army and US Navy / Marine Corps military program manager briefings. In addition, top ranking officers from the military source selection committees of the US Army, US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Air Force, US Coast Guard, and international counterparts will seek out your company's products/services and expertise for their forces training and operational requirements.
