CFS 2024 returns to the Horseshoe Las Vegas, the site of our previous conferences. Click here for more information about the Horseshoe. If you requested lodging through the registration process, your hotel confirmation number will be emailed to you about a week prior to the conference.

The negotiated room rate is $179 plus 13.38% tax per night (tax is subject to change). The room rate includes a mandatory resort fee, which covers daily in-room high-speed internet access, all local calls and fitness center access for two daily.

The CFS Planning Committee will reserve your room according to the information you provide during the registration process. You will be responsible for any fees incurred for incorrect data you entered into the reservation system; e.g., arrival and departure dates.

How do I change or cancel my CFS registration?

DO NOT CALL THE HOTEL TO CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR REGISTRATION.

For changes before August 19, please refer to your registration confirmation e-mail for your modification link.

On or after August 19, please email [email protected]. DO NOT call the hotel with questions or changes. They have specific instructions that all lodging issues, for reservations made through the CFS registration process, will be coordinated through the CFS registration team.

Is there a cancellation policy/fee?

Hotel Cancellation Policy:

The host hotel has a 72-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel your reservation or change to a later arrival date without modifying your registration with the CFS registration team prior to the deadline, the hotel will charge you a fee of one night’s lodging plus tax.

The ability to think quickly and remain calm under pressure while maintaining situational awareness are just some of the unique qualities that air traffic controllers possess. Their willingness to resolve complex situations without hesitation, offer a reassuring voice to those on the frequency, and ability to coordinate their efforts with other controllers help these dedicated professionals be successful at maintaining the safety of the National Airspace System.

While many controllers often feel that they are “just doing their job,” their hard work is often viewed by others as remarkable and extraordinary. The Archie League Medal of Safety Awards, named for the first U.S. air traffic controller, were first presented in 2005 to honor exceptional air traffic controller work that took place in 2004. The program highlights a variety of aviation “saves” — some which involve a team of controllers working together, while others are the result of one controller’s efforts.

Our 20th annual banquet celebration, honoring the 2024 Archie League Medal of Safety Award winners, will be held on the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2024, at NATCA Communicating For Safety 2024 at Horseshoe Las Vegas (formerly Bally’s Las Vegas).

The goal of NATCA’s Professional Standards program is to maintain and promote professionalism across all of NATCA’s bargaining units. We achieve that through a commitment to safety and through upholding the public’s trust. We work to inspire, to motivate, to provide personal examples of our professionalism to others, and to maintain the highest standard of excellence. We know our actions represent all our fellow professionals, and we work to bring honor and respect to all that we do. The NATCA National Professional Standards Committee (PSC) has created the “NATCA National Professionalism Award” as a means to recognize the actions of those who continually strive to achieve these goals.

At each annual Communicating For Safety (CFS), the PSC presents one recipient from each FAA Service Area with a NATCA National Professionalism Award, a minimum of three recipients each year. The members of the PSC will determine the recipients no later than 60 days prior to the beginning of CFS and forward those names to the National Executive Board for approval. The recipients will be chosen based on their individual professional contributions and performance that enhanced the standings of their profession. Additionally, the PSC will consider their personal commitment to safety and excellence in the selection. The 2024 winner will be honored at CFS 2024 during the Archie League Medal of Safety Awards banquet on Wednesday, September 18.
