Air Force Open House Workshop |

| By any measure, the United States Air Force is the largest air show organization in the world. From the Thunderbirds, single-ship demo teams and countless static aircraft to the three-dozen shows that the Air Force holds on its bases each year, the Air Force demonstrates its deep commitment to aviation and air shows every year in impressive fashion. But for the captain or major or chief tasked with organizing and conducting a particular show on a particular base, the task can be daunting. Many will learn that they are responsible for organizing and conducting the event in just a few short months – or even weeks! -- before the event is scheduled to be held. And the complicated rules governing the funding and execution of open houses at Air Force bases can be confusing, intimidating and even – sometimes – a moving target as rules change and interpretations “evolve.†That’s why, in 2002, the U.S. Air Force and ICAS cooperated to produce a one-day training seminar specifically organized and structured to provide Air Force personnel with the background information, explanations, direction and tips they need to effectively, efficiently and successfully plan and conduct an open house on an Air Force base. Since then, ICAS has offered this seminar every December at its annual convention. The seminar, developed in cooperation with Air Force personnel, will take much of the mystery out of the many decisions you and your colleagues must make as you prepare for and execute your event. |
