The National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO) 94th Annual Convention & Trade Show will be hosted by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities September 21- 24, 2025 in Anchorage, Alaska. NASAO25 is the only convention designed specifically for state government aviation agencies. Since 1931, these agencies have gathered in a different part of the country each year under NASAO to discuss current industry issues, collect and share ideas on how best to spread public funds, and engage in the host state’s unique aviation communities.
This year’s theme, Navigating New Frontiers, reflects the bold spirit of innovation in aviation. With over 230 state-owned airports, the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities is at the forefront of these advancements. Join us as we explore how aviation leaders are navigating these new frontiers and preparing for the future of emerging technologies
NASAO is the nationally recognized voice of state aviation, representing state government aviation agencies of all 50 states, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Predating even the Federal Aviation Administration (formerly the Civil Aeronautics Authority), NASAO is one of the oldest aviation associations in the nation and the only one representing the public interest in all facets of aviation before federal policymakers.

“As the proud host of NASAO’s 2025 Annual Convention & Trade Show, I invite you to navigate New Frontiers not only in aviation, but also in the Great State of Alaska and City of Anchorage! From glacier cruises, to flights around Denali, to native arts and culture, to fishing turquoise rivers, to wildlife viewing, to exploring old gold mines, Alaska has much to offer. Experience one of America’s last frontiers: feel a vast landscape or freezing glacial water, taste fresh-caught salmon and halibut prepared by local chefs, see majestic mountains, smell fresh air, hear local music inspired by Alaska. We hope you will join us for an experience of a lifetime!”
