BFA Balloon Event Symposium
This one of a kind conference is designed to educate event organizers, communities interested in hosting a balloon event and evet officials alike on the various aspects of running a safe and successful hot air balloon event. Or, maybe you already host a great community event but have considered adding hot air balloons to your community event for greater exposure.
The Balloon Event Symposium will be hosted in Dayton, Ohio. The Symposium is run in conjunction with the BFA National Convention that runs March 28-29, 2025
The Mission of the Symposium is to bring together all parties interested in hot air balloon events including event organizers AND officials who host or may be interested in hosting a balloon event, and pilots interested in learning more about event safety. The Symposium is designed to promote a free exchange of ideas in a social gathering that will feature facilitators with many years of experience as an event organizer or event official who have worked hand in hand with local communities to host successful hot air balloon events. The BFA publication, Balloon Event Guidelines, will be utilized to provide many of the training opportunities.
