Exhibit at Forum
The 2027 Annual Forum and Technology Display (Forum 83) returns to the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona May 11–13, 2027. Located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, Forum 83 will be steps away from top convention hotels, fine restaurants, theaters, and professional sports entertainment.
Although well known for its sunny and warm weather, the Greater Phoenix area is also recognized as a top aerospace and defense market. Home to such industry leaders as the Boeing Company, Honeywell and General Dynamics, the region employs nearly 22,000 aerospace and defense professionals working at more than 1200 companies. Phoenix is also helping to shape the future of advanced air mobility (AAM) by creating a coalition of city officials and aerospace companies to actively carry out its recently implemented AAM framework.
