Nevada, USA – Stratus Financial is proud to celebrate the success of the inaugural AeroSummit, which brought hundreds of flight training professionals together May 21–23, 2025, in Las Vegas. With 42 sponsors, including some of the biggest names in flight training, and 24 exhibitors, the event proved that the flight training community is not only ready—but eager—for a new era of connection and collaboration.
From flight school owners and CFIs to students and vendors, attendees engaged in three days of powerful programming, insightful discussions, and meaningful relationship-building. Hosted at the Wynn Las Vegas and capped off with AeroQuest, a public aviation celebration at Chennault Flying Service, the event marked a historic milestone for the industry.
“This event started as a vision—to create a space where the flight training industry could come together to connect, collaborate, and elevate,” said Anthony Geraci, CEO and Co-Founder of Stratus Financial and the visionary behind AeroSummit. “Seeing this vision brought to life with the support of hundreds of attendees and so many incredible sponsors is deeply humbling. AeroSummit isn’t just an event—it’s a movement. And we’re just getting started.”
