The Air Charter Safety Foundation's Annual Safety Symposium, to be held on April 7-9 2025 at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, will bring together aviation professionals committed to safety to explore current and emerging challenges in the industry.

The speakers will bring a wealth of aviation professional expertise and personal experience in safety. Scheduled appearances include Dr Tony Kern, founder and CEO of Convergent Performance, and president of Hop-a-Jet Barry Ellis, both of whose leadership has been shaped by personal and professional connections to aviation safety. A representative from SpaceX will also be offering insights regarding the challenges and future of aviation.

Pressure and performance will be a prominent theme at this year's symposium, with speakers exploring how the demands of aviation influence crew well-being and organisational safety. Attendees will gain actionable insights into addressing these pressures and improving their safety management systems (SMS) via informative presentations, workshops and interactive elements.

Bryan Burns, president and CEO of ACSF, says: "We couldn't be more excited about the calibre of speakers we're bringing to this year's Safety Symposium. Having the opportunity to hear directly from Dr Kern, Barry Ellis and SpaceX will be invaluable for attendees. Our speaker line-up promises to be one of the most informative and interactive yet, providing practical, implementable ideas to enhance safety management systems. It's an incredible opportunity for aviation professionals to strengthen their organisations and learn from real case studies."

Registration opens in December.
