CONVENTION PREVIEW
MMOPA N|ashville LIVE Sept. 1-4 Nashville, TN
by Dianne White
Make plans now to join us for the 2021 MMOPA annual convention, MMOPA Nashville LIVE. As our flagship event, the convention is packed full of seminars, social activities, and opportunities to interact with top leaders, suppliers, and experts in the PA46 world.
Starting with our first session on Sept. 2, the JW Marriott in downtown Nashville will be the center of all things PA46. You’ll hear from the industry’s best on safety, technology, maintenance, operational considerations, and new products.
At MMOPA Nashville
LIVE you will have the
chance to:
BE INSPIRED by Tammie Jo Shults, MMOPA member, Malibu owner, and the Southwest Airline captain who suc- cessfully landed her severely damaged 737 after an uncon- tained engine failure. She’ll share the remarkable story that led her to become one of the first female Navy F-18 fighter pilots. And she’ll lay out the building blocks that led her to meet the challenge that fateful day in 2018.
BECOME A SAFER PILOT with specific sessions on landing techniques, aeronautical decision making, and
weather knowledge.
WIN YOUR WINGS during the Master Aviator award ceremonies. We’ll recognize those members who
committed themselves to train more, learn more and expand their aviation experiences, ultimately making them safer.
HEAR FROM the Piper and top PA46 sup- pliers, including Garmin, Pratt & Whitney,
and many others;
MEET like-minded PA46 pilots. After a year with no in-person gatherings, this will be an event like no other, bringing together both old and new friends who share a pas- sion for flying;
All of this happens starting on September 1st, at the luxu- rious JW Marriott located in the heart of Music City and only steps from historic Lower Broadway.
We’ll kick things off on Wednesday night with a Welcome Reception on the elevated pool deck of the JW Marriott.
On Thursday night, we will gather at the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum for a VIP tour followed by a recep- tion party inside the Museum’s famed walls.
On Friday night, we will rock out with Eaglemania during our Friday night dinner. We’ll hold a fast-paced auction to raise funds for the MMOPA Safety & Education Founda- tion and you’ll be treated with our first-ever, live convention concert featuring the world’s best Eagles tribute band.
Livestream Plus On-Demand Playback
Can’t be there in person? For the first time ever, all edu- cational sessions and the concert will be streamed live on the MMOPA Nashville LIVE portal. Plus, all who attend, whether in person or online will have access to the sessions on-demand for viewing at a later time.
If you plan to attend in person, your registration fee includes on-demand access to all the educational sessions for playback at a later time. Often, it’s hard to absorb all the information in a single sitting.
