Why NBAA-BACE is a Must Attend for Schedulers & Dispatchers (and Why IFCC & ONeCALL Will Be There)
If you’re a scheduler or dispatcher, you already know your role is at the heart of every safe, smooth flight. From juggling crew schedules to navigating last-minute changes and staying on top of safety protocols, your work makes business aviation tick. That’s exactly why NBAA-BACE 2025 (October 14–16 in Las Vegas) is a must-attend event. It’s built to give you the connections, education, and tools you need to keep doing your job at the highest level.
And yes, ONeCALL Flight Dispatch will be there right alongside you.
Networking That Actually Matters
Let’s be honest: your world revolves around relationships whether it’s the pilots you support, the maintenance team you coordinate with, or the vendors who provide the tools you rely on. At NBAA-BACE, you’ll have the chance to meet software providers, fuel suppliers, FBO reps, training experts, and fellow dispatch professionals face-to-face.
These aren’t just casual hellos. They’re opportunities to find solutions to real scheduling headaches like faster ways to adapt flight plans when storms roll in, or smarter software integrations that cut down on manual data entry. Walking the exhibit floor often means walking away with an idea or contact that can save hours in your daily workflow.
Education That Speaks Your Language
NBAA-BACE isn’t just about shiny aircraft (though those are fun, too). The sessions and workshops are where schedulers and dispatchers can dig into topics that directly affect your day-to-day:
-
- Professional Development Program (PDP) Courses – Leadership, risk management, and operations training that can sharpen how you manage crews and respond under pressure.
- National Safety Forum – Real-world safety challenges and mitigation strategies. For dispatchers, that means practical takeaways you can use the very next time a mission gets complicated.
- Business Aviation Sustainability Summit – Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword. Dispatchers are increasingly being asked to help operators plan efficient routes, optimize fuel use, and meet client expectations. These sessions give you the insights to guide those conversations confidently.
- Keynotes & Hot Topics – From emerging technology to evolving regulations, the big-picture talks will help you anticipate the changes that will shape your job in 2026 and beyond.
Here’s just a few sessions we would suggest attending:
-
- NBAA-BACE Opening Keynote
- Optimizing Your Career: Defining Success and Driving Impact
- NBAA Local & Regional Group Networking
- Schedulers & Dispatchers Meetup
- Meet the Regulators
- Fighting Human Trafficking: Business Aviation’s Role
- Hot Potato: Responsibility and Accountability After Runway Excursions
