Since 1930, The Ninety-Nines have held an annual conference “which is much more than just a business meeting, but is the annual get-together of women pilots from around the world,” according to officials with the international organization of women pilots that boasts members in 44 countries.
The 2022 conference will be held in Charleston, South Carolina, July 6-10, and will feature speakers, a merchandise Fly Mart, educational seminars, and an aviation career panel.
Speakers at the 2022 conference include:
- Brian Schiff, Airline Captain, FAA-DE, Keynote Address
- Mary Build, Once a Pilot, Always a Pilot
- Dr. Susan Ying, Ph.D., The Third Revolution in Aviation – Electrification

- Heidi Hammerstein, An Affair with Flying, Aircraft, Engineering, Science, and Space Operations – Training with Project PoSSUM
- Judy Phelps, Keeping the Sunny Side Up and My Journey from Waitress to DPE
During the conference, the Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship Foundation will host its yearly banquet. Since 1941, the foundation has awarded more than $12 million in scholarships.
The Ninety-Nines own two museums, the 99s Museum of Women Pilots in Oklahoma City and the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum in Atchison, Kansas.
