Communicating For Safety 2026
Hosted annually by the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), Communicating for Safety (CFS) is the premier aviation safety conference in the United States.
CFS brings together safety professionals from across the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), industry, military, and international aviation community for three days of collaboration, innovation, and real-world problem-solving.
From expert panels and operational case studies to dynamic presentations on emerging technology, CFS delivers the critical conversations that shape the future of the National Airspace System.
It’s where frontline controllers, engineers, pilots, and decision-makers connect directly — not just to talk, but to turn ideas into action.
Open to all aviation professionals committed to safety, efficiency, and modernization.
CFS concludes with the Archie League Medal of Safety Awards Banquet, honoring the highest level of skill and professionalism in our field.
This is where aviation safety moves forward. Be part of it.
Save the Date: CFS 2026
CFS 2026 will be held Sept. 14-16, 2026, at The Horseshoe Las Vegas.
