The ongoing
federal government shutdown has created significant challenges for the Glen Gilbert
Soiree, not the least of which is the current closed status of the Museum. After careful consideration,
ATCA has made the decision to postpone the 2025 Glen Gilbert Soiree, originally
scheduled for October 29, 2025, to Monday, November 17, 2025. Times and other details remain the same.
The prestigious Glen Gilbert Trophy will be celebrated at the newly renovated Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. ATCA is proud to present this year's award to Michael Huerta, the longest-serving FAA Administrator. Join the who's who of air traffic management for this premier industry gathering alongside ATCA members, distinguished leaders from DOT, FAA, NTSB, airports, airlines, aviation trade associations, research institutions, and international partners. FAA Deputy Administrator Chris Rocheleau is confirmed to deliver remarks, with invitations extended to Secretary Duffy and FAA Administrator Bedford.
