2019 Program Excellence Awards

 Aviation Week Network today announced the finalists for the 2019 Program Excellence Awards. Winners will be announced at the Annual Program Excellence Awards Banquet to be held at 6:30 p.m. on October 23, 2019 at the Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corner in McLean, Virginia.

The awards, initiated in 2004 by industry, government and academic leaders, were conceived as a means to share lessons learned across the industry. “Once again this year, the Aviation Week Program Excellence Award finalists are an outstanding group,” says Greg Hamilton, president of Aviation Week Network. “They provide insight and lessons learned on topics ranging from production ramp ups to new model-based engineering techniques and the continuing reach for space. We look forward to sharing their stories in October.”
