JETNET LLC, the world leader in aviation market intelligence, announced it is returning to New York City for its 2012 JETNET iQ Global Business Aviation Summit, to be held June 5-6, 2012. Following on the success of last year’s Summit, this year’s conference theme is “Igniting Ideas. Provoking Change.”

JETNET is promoting Summit speakers and panelists as a virtual “Who’s Who” of experts with unique perspectives on business aviation’s situation and future, including industry analysts, bankers, brokers, wealth consultants, lawyers, sales & marketing leaders, and C-level executives. The Summit’s goal is to provide attendees with insights from JETNET iQ’s latest Global Business Aviation Surveys and forecasts. Presentations will also focus on the changing perspectives of the wealthy, a review of business aviation marketing’s past, present, and future, China’s emergence as a leading source of aircraft sales and (increasingly) production, and the evolution of customer requirements.

Three industry panels—Bankers and Brokers, OEMs Perspective, and Leadership and Customers—will discuss topics of particular interest in aircraft sales, financing, and market development. Keynote presentations by Jeffrey Shane, former U.S. DOT Associate Deputy Secretary and Under Secretary for Policy, and NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen, will address election year implications for business aviation and the “No Plane, No Gain” advocacy program.

“Business aviation is all about the energy and opportunity that are generated when business people come together face-to-face”, said Vincent Esposito, JETNET President. “We are delighted to have the opportunity to host such a prestigious group of thought leaders in one place, at one time.”

Attendees can expect “…a fast-paced, content-rich day full of unique insights and the latest industry intelligence from some of business aviation’s sharpest minds,” added Esposito. “These are the ingredients that promise to make the 2012 JETNET iQ Summit a must-attend event.”

For the convenience of attendees, the 2012 JETNET iQ Summit is once again scheduled to coincide with the New York-area NBAA Business Aviation Regional Forum, to be held this year at Teterboro Airport on June 7.

Industry veteran Susan Sheets-Brogan returns again this year as JETNET iQ’s Summit Chairperson. For further details on the conference and registration requests, please e-mail Susan at susan@jetnet.com or visit www.jetnetiq.com.
