The 20th Annual Electric Aircraft Symposium (EAS) returns to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, July 18–19, 2026, the weekend before the world’s largest aviation event, EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
The world’s longest running advanced air mobility (AAM) conference will feature a record number of speakers participating in 12 sessions encompassing a broad range of electric aircraft categories featuring battery-, hybrid- and hydrogen-electric propulsion approaches, plus sessions on infrastructure and regulations, according to organizers.
More than 50 speakers are expected from officials from Robinson Helicopters to eVTOL developers such as BETA Technologies, Eve, Joby Aviation, Pivotal Aero, and more, as well as conventional (eCTOL) and short (eSTOL) takeoff and landing aircraft developers including Ampaire, AURA AERO, Bye Aerospace, Electra Aero, and Pipistrel, and many more.
EAS 2026 will also highlight two recent developments that are stimulating renewed interest in electric aircraft and AAM across the United States:
- The FAA’s new MOSAIC (Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification) rule that revolutionizes general aviation by updating light sport aircraft (LSA) categories to include electric propulsion, rotorcraft and powered-lift aircraft for the first time.
- The FAA’s new eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP), which will see eight projects across 26 states and involve aircraft manufacturers, state partners, and airports.
EAS 2026 is being held on the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh campus. Tickets are $275. Attendees and others can also purchase a video recording of the Symposium and copies of the PDF presentations as a package for $150.
