More than 40 of the world’s electric aircraft developers and technology experts will be speaking at the 18th Annual Electric Aircraft Symposium (EAS), hosted by the Vertical Flight Society (VFS).
The event will be held online and in person in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on July 20-21, 2024 — the weekend before the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture Oshkosh 2024.
More than 450 aviation innovators and entrepreneurs have spoken at EAS since the first symposium was held in Santa Rosa, California, in 2007, officials noted.
This year’s symposium includes experts from industry and government, participating in 12 panel discussions over two days, covering a spectrum of topics, including international developments, flight training, test technology, eVTOL development, US government developments (e.g. FAA, NASA and the US Air Force), personal/private aircraft, propulsion (including batteries, electric motors, hybrid-electric and hydrogen-electric), vertiports and airport infrastructure.
With a focus on inspiring the next generation, for the first time the non-profit is offering a discount for students. Students can attend for $75, after joining VFS for $25. For others, the cost of the two-day symposium is $250 for attendees who are VFS members and/or speakers or $450 for non-VFS members.
EAS is a hybrid event, held at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh campus at the Culver Family Welcome Center, and online.

What, one has to pay to hear that battery flivvers are the way of the future? I don’t think so.
