IOM Aviation Conference: Networking not to be missed

The 2025 IOM Aviation Conference is set to take place on Thursday 26th June at the beautiful Villa Marina in Douglas, Isle of Man.

Martyn Fiddler have partnered with the BBGA to host this year’s event, with the ongoing support of the IOM Aircraft Registry.

Now in its 13th year, the conference continues to be a must-attend event for all business aviation industry professionals. The conference aims to provide a venue to discuss issues and challenges facing the industry, whilst showcasing the Isle of Man’s unique ethos towards business in terms of expertise, organisation, energy, and charm.

The IOM Aviation Conference is renowned for its exceptional networking opportunities which turn the conference into a three-day event! In addition to multiple opportunities to network during the main event, all delegates are invited to a pre-conference meet-up on Tuesday evening, a post-conference reception, and a breakfast meeting on Thursday morning (all included within the registration fee).
