Vanguard 2026: Safety by Choice, Not Chance

Pictured: The W Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ

 

Save the date! The VOCUS Vanguard Forum returns for its fourth year, June 9-11, 2026 at the W Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ. 

The event starts with an evening social on June 9, followed by two full days of safety-centered thought leadership, networking, and education.

 

 

 

This year's theme is Safety by Choice, Not Chance.

While chance introduces uncertainty, professional aviation depends on predictability. “Safety by Choice, Not Chance” highlights how disciplined decisions, strong culture, psychological safety, and data-driven insights help teams shape outcomes - even in complex, fast-moving environments. In other words, small choices accumulate into organizational resilience and thoughtful processes reduce variability across every part of an operation. These ideas will be the foundation of our 4th annual Vanguard Forum. 

Here's what you can expect:

  • Polaris Aero State of the Union
  • Thought Leadership Session
  • Customer Panels (Operators, FBOs, MROs, MX Departments)
  • Guided VOCUS Training & Deep-Dives
  • New & Upcoming Features
  • Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Exchange & Networking
  • Live! Helpdesk

Join us as we explore what the most resilient operators are doing differently and how intentional decision-making prepares your team for the moments that matter most.

Detailed agenda to be posted prior to the event.
