NBAA-BACE 2026 will bring together aircraft from major manufacturers, speakers and more than 70 education sessions when the business aviation convention returns to Las Vegas from 20-22 October at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport in Nevada.

This year’s aircraft lineup includes models from Aviat, Boeing Business Jets, Bombardier, Cirrus Aircraft, Daher, Dassault, Epic, Gulfstream Aerospace, Honda Aircraft, Piaggio Aero, Pilatus, Piper, Robinson Helicopter, SyberJet and Textron Aviation. Aircraft will be displayed both at Aircraft Connection at Henderson Executive Airport and on the convention centre show floor.

The exhibit hall will also feature avionics, interiors, engines and ground-handling equipment, while the new Horizon Stage will bring the convention’s headline speakers onto the show floor.

Speakers on the Horizon Stage will include industry pioneer Steven F. Udvar-Hazy, recipient of this year’s NBAA Meritorious Service to Aviation Award, and aviator and business leader Ross Perot Jr.

The Flight Deck will return with interactive discussions covering technological, regulatory, marketplace and workforce issues affecting business aviation. Programming across the convention will also cover safety and tax issues, alongside more than 70 education sessions for different professional roles and disciplines.

A three-day Maintenance Track will include the Gulfstream Operator Forum and dedicated maintenance and operations programming for professionals operating Gulfstream aircraft. Eligible technicians can also earn Inspection Authorization renewal credit.

The Career Zone will provide one-to-one career coaching, group discussions, scholarship and CV audits, headshots and workshops on LinkedIn strategies and other career skills. It will also feature a Military Connect meetup and a meet-and-greet with the 2026 class of NBAA Business Aviation Top 40 Under 40.

The Creator Studio will return to the convention centre’s entryway atrium, providing space for podcasters, digital influencers and other content producers. The studio is sponsored by Signature Aviation.

Military Connect will begin on the Horizon Stage and focus on pathways from military service into business aviation, including sessions on the cultural shift, translating service members’ CVs and building organisations that support military talent.

NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen says: “In business aviation, we're not waiting for the future; we're building it. If you want to be part of the future of this industry, you have to be part of NBAA-BACE.”

Further features of NBAA-BACE 2026 will be announced in the weeks leading up to the event.
