Young NAG Airbus x GMA event

We would like to invite you to join our Young NAG Airbus x GMA event on May 11th! This event is especially for Young people working in aviation, as an addition to the NAG General Members Assembly at Airbus Leiden on Thursday May 11th, 2023.

What is Young NAG? 
Young NAG is a network established for young professionals in the aerospace sector (young talents up to 35 old from all different educational levels). Currently, a young generation is coming up who will shape our future. These young people not only have the potential to strengthen our business but also have unique talents and points of view that can provide the solutions we need. As we aim to make aerospace future-proof, we want to start actively involving this younger generation in our activities and the developments in the sector. All young people working in aviation are invited to join Young NAG.

Purpose: As Young NAG, we aim to let our voice be heard, and allow youth in aviation to participate in discussions and collaboration such as the NAG General Members Assembly. We have prepared a visit to Airbus with a tour of their production facilities, which will be followed by a Q&A with the CEO of Airbus Rob Postma. Then you can participate in the panel discussion that follows from the official part of the General Members Assembly, and join for the networking drinks and dinner. This is your chance to participate in the debate on the future of aviation in the Netherlands with thought leaders such as Ron van Manen and Marloes van Put, and to meet the NAG members.
