The 4th Annual FAA International Aviation Safety Forum will provide the opportunity to continue our dialogue to improve the world-wide aviation safety record. Industry executives, government regulators, and aviation leaders will come together in partnership to engage in high level and informative discussions about global safety topics.

This year the theme of the Safety Forum is Safety without Borders - Meeting Global Challenges. Day One of the program will focus on Safety Management Systems (SMS). Both domestic and international representatives will discuss achieving global standards as the aviation industry evolves to a system-wide implementation of SMS. Panel sessions will concentrate on setting the SMS framework, controlling safety risks, monitoring safety data and metrics, and supporting the SMS culture. Day two will highlight challenges of the future - Global "Greening" of the Aviation Industry and the Next Generation of Aviation Professionals.

We look forward to you joining us.
