Since 2001, MARPA has hosted annual conferences that bring together experts and leaders in the PMA industry and regulatory realm to tackle key issues facing the modification and replacement parts arena.
The Ninth Annual MARPA Conference this year was our largest meeting ever. It was held at the Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel in the Fall of 2009. We welcomed 223 people to the 2009 Conference and we hope that the 2010 Conference will be even bigger.
2009 Conference Presentations are available! Most presentations were on the USBs distributed at the conference, but presentations that were missing, or that were updated by the speaker after being sent to MARPA, are now available on our website.
The 2010 upcoming conference will provide another excellent opportunity for senior executives, design and engineering staff, quality assurance staff, and compliance staff with PMA manufacturing companies to keep abreast of major trends in the industry. Additionally, air carriers, MROs, leasing companies, and corporate/private operators who purchase spare parts or review or approve PMA alternatives will derive great benefit from interacting with this fast-growing segment of civil aviation.
We appreciate all of our 2009 sponsors, whose generous support helps to keep the MARPA Conference significantly less expensive to attend than many other aviation industry events. You will see our sponsors' names here on the website, but you also saw their names throughout the Conference. Sponsorship opportunities for 2010 still exist.
If you have ideas about speakers or topics for the 2010 Conference, please feel free to contact the Association. We always welcome your input.
