Cypress, TX – November 2024 —Paragon Aviation Group, the leading network of elite FBOs, successfully hosted its highly anticipated annual Leadership conference from November 13 to 15, 2024, at Clay Lacy Aviation in Van Nuys, California. This exclusive event drew together leaders and decision-makers across the aviation sector, focusing on collaborative innovation and operational excellence.
This year’s conference notably saw increased participation from new members, compared to recent years. The sessions provided a robust platform for mid and upper management to comprehensively evaluate FBO operations, constructive feedback, shared best practices, and invaluable networking opportunities.
The event was graciously hosted at Clay Lacy Aviation’s FBO, which is consistently recognized as the leading-edge FBO in the region. “The primary objective of this conference is to connect and equip our members with insights into other members' FBOs, through relationship building and the sharing of best practices. The more we share, the stronger our network becomes, leading to enhanced operations and service excellence,” said Crystal Kubeczka, President of Paragon Aviation Group.
One of the standout features of the conference was the dynamic presentations from Polaris Aero, and Gensler that truly captivated attendees with their depth and expertise in aviation. Gensler, a leading global architecture, design, and planning firm, shared valuable insights into the latest industry trends and innovative design strategies poised to advance the FBO sector. During their session, presented by Tim Sullivan, Ashley Dowell, and Nick Acevedo, they underscored the pivotal role of intentional design in enhancing both user experience and operational efficiencies within FBOs. Gensler’s involvement not only enriched the discussions at the conference but also highlighted the importance of collaboration and innovation in the FBO industry, as they delivered vital information that showcased the key takeaways and transformative ideas presented throughout the event.
The meeting concluded with the highly anticipated presentations of "The Big Idea," where attendees shared transformative concepts for the business aviation sector. Jamie McCarthy from Port City Air in New Hampshire won for his innovative suggestion, which encourages Paragon FBOs to collaborate and host employees from various locations worldwide. This initiative fosters invaluable learning opportunities and promotes collaboration. Jamie's forward-thinking program truly embodies the spirit that drives our industry forward!
