This year's Lindbergh Innovation Forum, a program of the Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation, at AirVenture promises to deliver more inspiring and provocative presentations on concepts designed to shape the future of aviation. The sessions, in partnership with EAA, will take place on Tuesday, July 23rd, 2019, from 9 am - 12 pm in the EAA Forums at Aviation Gateway Park.

The Lindbergh Forum sessions feature speakers engaged in short, compact presentations and panels, all hosted by Erik Lindbergh, grandson of famed aviators Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. The sessions provide a unique opportunity for the aviation community to develop valuable, mutually beneficial connections with aviation industry trailblazers.

This year’s lineup includes representatives from Blue Origin, NASA, Uber Elevate, GE Aviation, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and a number of exciting early-stage companies. Topics include commercial supersonic and hypersonic flight, innovations in space, hydrogen-powered flight, artificial intelligence and other leading-edge topics.

Erik Lindbergh said, “We believe that experimental aircraft represent a platform for innovation and are honored to partner with EAA to feature industry leaders and some truly breakthrough work at AirVenture this year.”
