(GREEN BAY, WI) Football won’t be the only thing shinning a spotlight on Green Bay this fall. Domestic airlines and airports from all over the U.S. will be visiting Green Bay to take part in TakeOff North America 2024, held at Lambeau Field, October 22-24, 2024.

TakeOff North America, powered by Routes, brings together more than 130 airline, airport, tourism organization and travel development representatives from across the country to learn, collaborate and partner for air service development. “This is a unique opportunity for Green Bay,” said Marty Piette, A.A.E, Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) Director. “It is a conference that brings in the key decision-makers from the North American domestic airline network planning community. With it being held here, in Green Bay, it gives those decision makers a first-hand opportunity to see and learn about our airport and community; experiencing what our community has to offer.”

The three-day conference provides attendees with opportunities to learn about trends and challenges within the industry and meet one-on-one with airlines and/or airports to build relationships. “The event creates great connections and can boost economic growth within a community,” noted Piette. In addition to presentations and breakout sessions, TakeOff North America participants will experience true Northeast Wisconsin activities including Lambeau Field tours, dinner at a local supper club, visiting the National Railroad Museum, EAA AirVenture Museum and touring Door County. “We have also included some additional surprises for our airline partners to make sure their time here is memorable,” added Piette.

This will be Wisconsin’s first aviation development conference of this scale. “While there are other aviation industry conferences, such as JumpStart (which took place in Milwaukee last year), this brings together a much larger group of people who can help drive economic growth for our area through air travel and development,” said Troy Streckenbach, Brown County Executive. “We appreciate the conference being held here so travel industry executives can see and experience the growth and vibrancy of Brown County and Northeast Wisconsin.”
