ESA is pleased to sponsor and help organize this year’s Aviation Noise & Emissions Symposium in Palm Springs, California from March 4-6, hosted by UC Davis. The University of California has organized the symposium since 1985 with a goal of seeking to address noise and emissions challenges in the aviation industry. The symposium unites aviation industry professionals, environmental and community advocates, policymakers, and forward-thinking technology pioneers in a common mission. Staff from ESA have been actively involved in the planning of the symposium for decades. Justin Cook, Aviation Noise Practice Leader, has been the planning chair since 2023.

ESA’s team of aviation noise specialists will be attending the conference this year and we look forward to connecting with you.
