NEW in 2026 
For the first time, attendees can choose from two concurrent session tracks, offering more flexibility and more focused learning. The expanded program includes an increased emphasis on airport operations, with content designed to address practical challenges, best practices, and emerging trends.

You’ll have more session choices and the chance to go deeper into the topics that matter to you - without losing the shared conference experience that AzAA is known for.

Dutch Bertholf

Neilson A. Bertholf, known to everyone as "Dutch", worked more than 50 years in the aviation industry. Dutch was an early instrumental leader in AzAA and the Spring AzAA Conference was named after Dutch following his retirement from his final position, Director of the City of Phoenix Aviation Department, overseeing Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, Deer Valley Airport and Goodyear Airport.
