“We tippy-toed back into AirVenture 2021. We weren’t sure what to expect with the pandemic still out there and how comfortable people would be and what we should be doing so far as numbers of events and numbers of gatherings! this year we came on full bore, and all 5,000 plus volunteers were here early getting everything set up, and to help you put it into perspective to how we’re back full bore, [as far as] forums and workshops, we had 30% more of them, so we went from 800 plus forums last year to over 1,300.”
