AAM Summit 2026

AAM Summit 2026 at RotorTech - Vertical Flight Exposition

Date: 6 - 8th May, 2026

Location: Royal Pines Resort, Gold Coast

Advanced air mobility (AAM) is continuing to gain momentum in Australia. This concept of air transportation to move people and goods in new, community-friendly, and cost-effective aircraft in both rural and urban environment is being promoted as the next big thing in aviation.

AAUS will be taking its AAM Summit to RotorTech and to form part of the 2026 RotorTech Vertical Flight Exposition.  

As this evolving sector of the autonomous industry continues to develop, we are learning more about how AAM will have a transformative impact on regional and urban air mobility as well it as its applications in the fields of medicine, defence and emergency management. The AAM Summit will look at the challenges faced by the industry, and what is needed to make AAM a viable mode of transport in Australia.
