The new Wisconsin Airports Seminar combines the BOA’s annual Airport Operations and Land Use Seminar with the BOA’s annual Airport Engineers Workshop to create one all-encompassing airports event. This seminar provides airport professionals with the information and tools needed to take on the day’s most relevant and timely challenges. In addition, the seminar provides a platform for interacting with FAA officials, BOA staff, airport consultants, and other airport managers. We invite all airport owners and managers, airport committee or commission members, airport consultants and engineers, county board members, city council members, planning and zoning professionals, or any other Wisconsin airport stakeholders to attend.
