Calling all future leaders, innovators, scholars and change-makers!
Are you a junior aviator (PLTOFF - FLTLT & AC/W - CPL) brimming with ideas and ready to make your mark?
Then blast off with us at the yearly Clear to Launch: Junior Aviator Symposium, a dynamic piece of the Air and Space Power Conference, and Avalon International Air Show, designed to propel your thoughts, insights, and career to new heights!
This game-changing event is not your typical symposium. It's a dynamic platform where your voice takes centre stage and is your interactive building block furthering your ideas in Air Force. Share your perspectives, collaborate with colleagues across all levels, and spark revolutionary ideas that will shape the future of our organisation.
Every Clear to Launch: Junior Aviator Symposium looks a little different, each one is made up of some of these elements:
Airmindedness: Sharpen your strategic thinking and leadership skills. Learn from experts about navigating complex challenges and soaring above the competition.
Young Leaders Forum: Connect with fellow high-potential individuals. Exchange ideas, build networks, and ignite collaborations that will propel you all forward.
Writers Ignition Workshops: Hone your communication skills and transform your ideas into powerful pitches, proposals and blogs. Learn from established professionals and unleash your inner wordsmith.
Innovation and Scholarship Opportunities: Discover pathways to fuel your growth and propel your career. Explore a range of scholarship pathways, mentorship programs, and opportunities to take your skills to the next level, setting you up for success.
This is more than just a symposium; it's your launchpad. Be part of an electrifying atmosphere where collaboration thrives, creativity ignites, and possibilities take flight. Network with influential leaders, make valuable connections, and become a driving force for positive change.
Young Leaders Forum: PitchFest
Calling all creative minds!
What idea do you have for the future? Perhaps it's inventing new a technology, or something you think is important that's beyond the future force?
It is your chance to shape the future of our organisation and impress the Senior Enlisted Panel with your ground-breaking ideas. The Young Leaders Forum: Pitchfest is seeking bold submissions from aviators for a shark tank-style presentation to put forward their thoughts and ideas on future challenges and innovative solutions for the future of Air Force and the Defence organisation; a presentation unlike any other. Share your passion and vision.
This is not just a chance to be heard, it is a springboard to launch your idea into reality.
Don't just consume, contest, contribute and collaborate – launch yourself into the future! Mark your calendars, because the next Clear to Launch: Junior Aviator Symposium takes off at Avalon International Air Show 2025.
