ACA brings regional charter forum to Fort Lauderdale this August
The Florida event follows similar ACA activities in Colorado and Georgia and offers US members networking and discussion opportunities.
The forum will be hosted by chief executive Glenn Hogben, pictured, and board member Ryan Waguespack.

The Air Charter Association is bringing its Air Charter Regional Forum to Fort Lauderdale, Florida on 19 and 20 August 2025. This will be the third such US event following roundtables in Colorado and Georgia, and will be led by chief executive Glenn Hogben and North America board member Ryan Waguespack.

The forum will support the ACA’s growing US presence, with more than 50 US-based members currently represented. Designed to foster discussion between brokers and operators, it will feature panels and roundtable debates on subjects shaped by member input. Past agendas have included fraud and cybersecurity, regulatory change and broker-operator dynamics.

The ACA has previously held forums in London, Prague, Antwerp and Geneva. Hogben says: “The Air Charter Association is a truly global organisation, with a steadily growing membership in the United States, and we want to ensure that we are providing the same outstanding networking opportunities to our US members. After delivering several successful industry networking events in the region over the past year, it is fantastic that we are now able to take The ACA Air Charter Regional Forum to the US.”

In addition to hosting networking events, the ACA also provides accreditation, bespoke training and guidance on regulatory compliance.
