Hangar space and fuel. Marketing and sponsorship. Parking and traffic. Toilets and trash. Concessions and volunteers. Contracts and insurance. Rental cars and hotel rooms. Signage and fencing. Perhaps the biggest challenge facing any event organizer is keeping track of details, deadlines and decisions.

In this session, you’ll learn about the general principles of project management, how those principles can be applied to the challenges of organizing and conducting an air show, and what computer-based tools you might consider using to help you.
