YLW is the first major international airport in Canada to host the annual convention, according to airport manager Sam Samadar.

The private plane sector generates $9.3 Billion in economic activity, according to a study commissioned by COPA.

The event takes place at the airpark off Old Vernon Rd, adjacent to the YLW airfield.

Some events are open to the public by admission.
