Southeast Aviation Expo Dates for 2013 Announced
The 2013 Southeast Aviation Expo will be held on Friday, September 27th and Saturday, September 28th at the Greenville Downtown Airport in South Carolina.
“This event is an annual fundraiser for the South Carolina Aviation Association (SCAA)," stated SCAA President Marion Hope. "Post event exhibitor surveys were extremely favorable. Many expressed that they got face time with existing clients and met a number of valuable prospective customers which made the expo a very worthwhile tool to strengthen their network of aviation-focused contacts,” Hope said. “This is exactly what we were trying to achieve, a trade show type event for people in our region who are in the aviation industry,” added Hope.
“We hope to grow this event each year, and who knows one day we might be as big as the Northwest Aviation Conference & Trade Show in Washington state. It has been in existence for 29 years and pulls about 12,000 attendees!" Stated Joe Frasher, Airport Director of the Greenville Downtown Airport.
