Key Takeaways:

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has renamed its 66-year-old Annual Meeting & Convention to the Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (BACE).
The name change aims to align the U.S. show with NBAA's other international events (EBACE, ABACE, LABACE) and reflect its growth into a major exhibition rather than just a meeting.
BACE is one of the largest trade shows in the U.S., attracting approximately 25,000 attendees and over 1,000 exhibitors, featuring a large static aircraft display.

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) said it has changed the name of its 66-year-old Annual Meeting & Convention to the Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (BACE).

The association said the name change brings NBAA’s largest convention into alignment with the other annual shows it hosts — the European EBACE in Geneva and the Asian ABACE in Shanghai. A fourth show, LABACE, is held each year in Latin America.
