2025 Electric Aircraft Symposium

EAS 2025 will be held at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, 748 Algoma Blvd, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, 54901. All events will take place in Room 227 of the Reeve Memorial Union (student center).

Every year, EAS provides an excellent opportunity to network with leaders of advanced air mobility (AAM) at a small intimate conference organized by the technical leaders of the industry. The annual Electric Aircraft Symposium is the premier electric VTOL / STOL / CTOL / AAM event held immediately prior to EAA's AirVenture. 

Last year's EAS 2024 was a huge success with nearly 150 in-person attendees plus 35 virtual! This year, we expect it to be even bigger!
