Gulfstream hosts Skyward, a reimagined customer and industry event

Gulfstream welcomed nearly 2,000 attendees from 6 continents and more than 30 countries to Skyward, its newly reimagined customer event in Savannah to discuss the various topics and trends impacting business aviation.

The three-day conference took place last week at the Savannah Convention Center, not far from the company’s worldwide headquarters.

Skyward represents an evolution of Gulfstream’s long-standing biennial Operators & Suppliers Conference, introducing a refreshed format designed to be even more engaging, collaborative and customizable for customers. Building on the success of previous events, Skyward delivered robust technical sessions, leadership updates, open forums, industry innovations and extensive networking opportunities - all led by Gulfstream experts from around the world.

“Skyward is our premier customer event and the largest gathering of Gulfstream operators and suppliers worldwide,” said Lor Izzard, senior vice president, Gulfstream Customer Support. “This event provides an engaging forum for us to bring customers and industry partners together with our team of experts to share developments and gather feedback in real time.”

The enhanced event structure allowed attendees to tailor their experience by choosing from a wide range of sessions that aligned with their individual needs and interests. The program also offered opportunities for attendees to earn credits applicable toward Federal Aviation Administration Inspection Authorization (IA) renewal requirements, supporting the professional development of maintenance technicians and operations personnel.

“Customers place their trust in our worldwide support network, and we are committed to strengthening that partnership through expertise, transparency and meaningful collaboration,” added Izzard. “The insights shared during Skyward help drive our path forward and ensure we deliver an aircraft ownership and service experience that exceeds expectations.”
