AOPA Campus Returns to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh

AOPA has scheduled an extensive lineup of seminars, daily gatherings, and direct consultations with its specialists at the AOPA Campus during this year's EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. The activities center on booth No. 463, located across from the Brown Arch in Wisconsin, and run throughout the event dates of July 20 to 26. ## Daily Coffee and Conversation Pilots can begin each weekday at the AOPA Backyard with Coffee & Conversation sessions held from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. A rotating group of senior staff and AOPA Board members will join attendees for informal discussions during these morning meetings. ## Featured Seminars and Town Hall The seminar program includes repeat sessions to accommodate more participants. Federal Air Surgeon Dr. Susan E. Northrup will address mental health topics and their relation to medical certification on July 20 and again on July 23. Savvy Aviation's Mike Busch will conduct live editions of the Ask the A&Ps podcast on July 21 and July 24. Additional presentations feature Juan Browne discussing his YouTube channel on July 21, former Navy pilot Ryan Graves covering unidentified aerial phenomena on the same day, and a July 24 panel with airshow performers Kyle Fowler, Nathan Hammond, and Tom Larkin focused on night airshow operations. The Pilot Town Hall on July 22 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. will include acting Co-presidents Katie Pribyl and Jill Baker along with Board members outlining ongoing support for general aviation. ## Specialist Consultations Available Attendees can schedule one-on-one time with AOPA Pilot Information Center staff to review FAA rules, flight planning questions, and medical certification matters. The advocacy team will also meet with pilots regarding potential airport closures, while Pilot Protection Services specialists will discuss enforcement actions and medical reviews. All seminars remain free and open to every AirVenture visitor. ## Sweepstakes and Membership Options The AOPA Sweepstakes Aviat Husky will remain on display at the campus until the winner announcement, after which the organization will reveal its next sweepstakes aircraft. Pilots who join or renew AOPA membership on site receive a $10 discount, and those already enrolled in the Automatic Annual Renewal program can select either a hat or T-shirt. AOPA apparel and gear will be available for purchase throughout the week. ## Why it matters for AeroLink pilots AOPA's presence supplies direct access to regulatory and medical specialists plus structured sessions on current topics, allowing pilots to address specific certification or compliance questions during the event without additional travel.
