Advanced Air Mobility Innovation Summit 2025

We proudly presents the inaugural Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Innovation Summit. This dynamic, “town-hall” style forum will convene key stakeholders from across the advanced air mobility community to forge collaborative strategies and address the critical steps required for the widespread and effective implementation of next-generation transportation and AAM technology, including its vital role in bolstering national security.

Topics to be Covered

• Unlocking the Vision of Skyward Mobility through AAM
• Investing the Future of Sustainable Aviation
• Enabling Scalable AAM Innovation Through Intelligent Automation
• Challenges of Integrating Next Generation Aviation into Current Airspace
• Unlocking the Potential of AAM in Supporting the Warfighter
• Stepping into the Future of Aviation with AAM Solutions

Why You Should Attend This Symposium

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) has the potential to reshape transportation and contribute to a more sustainable and interconnected future. AAM vehicles are able to navigate congested environments, bypassing ground traffic and significantly reducing commute times. This alleviates pressure on existing road infrastructure and opens up transportation possibilities in previously inaccessible areas. Furthermore, the propulsion systems of AAM offer substantial environmental benefits, producing zero or significantly reduced emissions compared to traditional aircraft and vehicles. Beyond passenger transport, AAM holds potential for various applications, including cargo delivery, emergency medical services, and defense applications, enhancing their overall importance. Traditional VTOL can take minutes to start up, losing crucial time for first responders where seconds matter, while electric motors promise starts up in seconds. These motors, which are a small piece of AAM, also promise significantly less noise pollution for populated areas and offer greater stealth for defense applications. These solutions represent a shift towards more efficient, accessible, and environmentally friendly transportation solutions. This year's summit will address these benefits and talk about the challenges and steps needed to fully implement an AAM connected future and to bring together a non-conventional group of implementors. This forum looks to go outside the bubble of traditional tradeshows and bring together a group of leaders to discuss hard truths and to talk about solutions that can be applied to our world today. Attendees will hear from policymakers, business leaders, technical experts, and academics providing a wide variety of perspectives and voices.

The team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in advanced air mobility as well as key stakeholders in industry, government, and academia. Our research driven approach allows us to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers from the Aerospace community.
