The 19th Annual Electric Aircraft Symposium (EAS) organized by the Vertical Flight Society (VFS) is set to take place in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on July 19-20, 2025. The symposium will bring together over 35 experts in the advanced air mobility (AAM) industry to discuss various topics related to electric aircraft development. These topics will include personal and commercial electric vertical, short, and conventional takeoff and landing aircraft, as well as pilot training requirements, commercial air taxis, regional air mobility, propulsion systems (such as battery-electric, hybrid-electric, and hydrogen-electric), aircraft certification, flight testing, standards development, and infrastructure integration. Confirmed speakers include representatives from prominent AAM companies like AIR, H2FLY, Joby Aviation, and Wisk, as well as organizations like NREL and the US Department of Energy. The symposium will cost $275 for VFS members and $475 for non-members, with a special rate of $75 for students after joining VFS for $25. EAS will be a hybrid event, offering both in-person attendance at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh campus and online participation. This event promises to provide valuable insights and discussions on the future of electric aviation.
