by Ron Birkla, Director at AV-ation

AV-ation is proud to have provided the complete suite of digital presentations, as well as all audio and video support, for the 43rd Annual General Meeting and Williams Trophy Award Presentation!

Hosted by the Washington Airports Task Force (WATF), this signature event brought together aviation leaders, innovators, and community partners to celebrate progress, explore the future of air transportation, and honor outstanding achievements in aviation through the presentation of the Williams Trophy.

This year’s theme, “Eye on the Future with The Skies of Tomorrow,” focused on new breakthroughs in air mobility and how technologies that once felt like science fiction are quickly becoming real.

2025 Williams Trophy Honorees included:

• Boom Supersonic

• Electra.aero

• Joby Aviation

The event also included a special acknowledgment of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority First Responders for their awesome work and dedication to keeping travelers safe.

It took a team to make this year’s event a success, and we want to thank everyone who contributed their time, expertise, and support. Special thanks to Ret. Maj. Gen. Keith Meurlin, Lisa Merhaut, and Mark Treadaway with the Washington Airports Task Force for the opportunity to support this important gathering and for your continued trust in our work.

AV-ation is honored to support an event that celebrates leadership, innovation, and the future of flight.

We look forward to working with you again in 2026!
