WAI Australia is holding its second biennial conference to promote, engage and inspire the next generation to consider a career in aviation and aerospace industries.

The National Conference will be held at the Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens Resort in New South Wales, on Friday 28th – Sunday 30th of September 2018.

The conference will have a key focus on engineering (aviation and aerospace) and technical trades (logistics, avionics and aircraft technicians), as well as providing speakers and workshops on various other fields in the industry such as RPAS (Drone) technologies, flying training (airplane and helicopter) and aviation management (air traffic control, airports and airlines).

The aim of the National Conference is to provide attendees with information and resources from various facets of the industry, and more importantly provide an interactive environment for attendees to connect and network with leaders from within the aviation and aerospace industry and Defence Force Recruiting.

Representatives from major international organisations and the Department of Defence will be present to offer advice and support for those pursuing employment within the industry.

The diverse list of speakers will share their experiences getting into the industry, working within and the power of networking, and the importance of STEM. We will also have concurrently streamed workshops to then focus on each industry sector with participants being able to collaborate and interact with speakers.
