Is this an advertorial? The content is so far from the reality of the “women conference” that hosts more men than women per the photos published on social media.

The Women in Aviation movement started with a conference in Prescott, Arizona in 1990 with 150 attendees. Today, the movement has gained popularity with over 4,500 attendees at the Long Beach, CA conference, indicating significant progress. The WIA inspires and encourages women in aviation. Congratulations WIA!
