Events remain the cornerstone of NGPA, and we host three main annual gatherings including our coastal flagship events, the Palm Springs Winter Warm-Up and Cape Cod Classic, in addition to the NGPA Industry Expo, which has quickly grown to the nation's second-largest career-oriented aviation exhibition.
In addition to numerous local chapter events, NGPA also participates in these worldwide events:

NGPA Palm Springs Events
February, 2025
Industry Expo & Winter Warm-Up
At NGPA, we offer two incredible events each February, each with its own unique focus and audience. Whether you’re looking to expand your professional network, grow your career, or simply reconnect with fellow aviation enthusiasts, there’s an event tailored just for you.
Whether you’re joining the Winter Warm-Up for community and connection or attending the Industry Expo to advance your aviation career, NGPA has something for everyone. Explore your options and make the most of these exciting events!
Warm weather, a uniquely Southwest landscape, and miles of blue skies make Palm Springs the perfect spot for a mid-winter fly-in.
The NGPA Industry Expo is the second-largest pilot recruiting and aviation networking event in the U.S. The event features keynote speakers, hundreds of ATP-qualified active airline pilots seeking employment, aviation products and services, and educational seminars for both commercial, business/corporate, and general aviation pilots.
Our chapters are very excited to try a new type of event and hope you can make it to the Focus City or another chapter to celebrate Pride!
For those wanting to fly in their own aircraft, several FBOs often have offered discounted rates for NGPA members flying in for this event!
See you soon!
Join NGPA and our members at the 2025 EAA AirVenture event as we gather in Oshkosh, WI this July 21-27, 2025. Each year NGPA attends EAA AirVenture and provides various opportunities for our members to network and experience what the event has to offer. AirVenture is a great event for all areas of aviation, and we hope to see you there!
In 1990, our first event was held in Provincetown, Mass., and included just a handful of gay pilots. Set against the classic backdrop of New England, the Cape Cod Classic has grown into our flagship East Coast event and is a member favorite!
